Trim + Ceiling Color Ideas with a Gray Wall?

We're repainting our bedroom on Saturday one of five BM gray colors (between Nantucket Gray, Stormy Monday, Boothbay Gray, Brewster Gray and Copley Gray).

I am very sick of our "Super White" trim and moulding that's everywhere in my place. Anyone have any fabulous ideas for a good alternative that would go with gray?

Here's a 'swatch' of my bedding to give you an idea of room colors, if it helps.

Beautiful bedding! We use Dove White by BM for our trim.

We used muslin for our trim with clay-gray-taupey walls. I know the wall color was BM, but I can't remember if the trim color was BM or Behr. I'm pretty sure it was BM, though.

No ideas on the trim - I used BM Winter White but I did use Copley Gray in our study and I love it!

Actualy, I have seen black trim with grey walls and love the look...not sure if that would go with the rest of your look.

ETA: I really like painting the ceiling the lightest color on the strip (if it's a 3 strip - if it's a 5 strip I like doing the 2nd lightest color for the ceiling and reserving the lightest color for the trim) and then the trim in white.

where is that bedding from? I love it.

I second muslin, it i think that the ceiling would look good that color.

BM dove or timid white are really popular trim colors
