Need help w/"white paint colors"

for three things......wainscoting, crown molding, and the kick plate of stairs. I'm thinking the wainscoting and crown molding should be the same color right? Can anyone rec. a white they have used? I want to buy it today

For our crown molding we used BM Butter Pecan. I prefer a non bright white to give the room a "softer" finish.

If you go to the paint store and find a color you like you could do the kick plates and wainscoting in a flat finish then get the same color in a gloss for the molding.

We used BM Dove White, for our crown molding, base molding & our stair risers, in semi-gloss. A semi-gloss or high gloss for your moldings and stair risers makes it easier to clean of hand or foot marks.

I know a lot of people like BM Decorators White (I believe is the name).
