while software will get you so far, you still need to put some paint
up. 3rd eye had a good list of factors to consider.



if you're doing trim only around the accent wall, or in a room, do
whatever you want. if it's the whole trim package -- meaning, all the
trim in the house -- i'd stay close to white.



Benjamin Moore is selling little sample sized bottles that will be a help.
Wish I had it last year. I bought a gallon of custom tinted paint for my
exterior trim. It was a very nice shade of green I chose from the chart.
Got it home, painted three feet of trim on the garage door and it was UGLY.

The good part of the story was my local very reliable dealer. I took it
back and just asked him if he could tone it down by adding some black or
something. He would not hear of it and insisted on giving my a new gallon of
the color of my choice.


With a dealer like that you'll want to give all all your business and
refer others to him.
