I would use a very, very light shade of gray. It will tie the carpet, kitchen floor and pallet boards together. Then I would paint the trim bright white. I love white trim. It looks so clean and fresh. Good luck in your new home. If you need any other DIY advice, give us a post.

The humidity level in mobile homes should be kept below a level of 50 or else you could risk getting toxic mold. This is some of the most important advice you can get because it can ruin your life in many ways, financially, health wise and kill you, and your pets too. 25% of people have an HLA gene off of the 6th chromosome that makes it almost impossible to get out of your body. And you don't need to have a leak for mold to grow. So keep your humidity level under 50 to deter mold from growing in your home, be it a mobile home or a solid structure.
