Default painting a doorway between two rooms w/different colors

Hello,

Can't be the first one to run into this.

Remodeling kitchen etc. and am about to paint walls, doorway trim.

Kitchen wall color doesn't quite match that of the rooms that the doorways
enter into. Kitchen wall color isn't domineering like a canary yellow or
anything, it's sort of a creamy off white, but it still doesn't quite match
that of the adjoining rooms.

So how to paint the jambs and stop? Just choose one or the other and be
happy with it? Try and somehow find a blend that works well with colors on
both sides?

I suppose one could ask why I didn't use the same color as the adjoining
rooms for the kitchen but a kitchen is a pretty different place than a
family or dining room and it seems to me that it's not insane to have a
different color for it. I seem to recall that bright yellow kitchens used
to be in vogue and you certainly wouldn't want that color in the rest of
your house.

anyway thanks for comments
