There are No rules. Express yourself.....
By all means paint what captures your eye. Unless you are planning to sell your home then paint it white.
Heck no! I've seen some stunning rooms done in black! example: https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/33297593/list/8-reasons-to-paint-your-interior-trim-black
not at all...nor does the ceiling need to be white...
Pro painters will sometimes suggest white because they can buy it more cheaply in huge quantities.
Some people use complementary colours. Some use a lighter or darker shade of the wall paint.
In some modern settings, many paint the trim the same colour , sometimes glossier.
My doors are a very dark brown (like a warm black), and we love them.
I have seen bedrooms and bathrooms where people took a colour for the wasll from a shower curtain or duvet, and another colour from the pattern for the trim.
The sky's the limit. It is only paint. If you don't like it, redo it. You can always try it in a small washroom or closet first to see the effect.

The most commonly painted color is white, but you can do any color you want. Just keep in mind that if and when you want to sell your house, that all trim should be painted back to white for a better resale price.
They don't have to be, but if you are planning on selling the home, you may have to repaint them all one color, and most are white today.
No, they don't. Trim can be natural or stained wood. Really it can be any color you choose.
Usually, the trim and woodwork is painted with gloss or semi-gloss with the walls being flat or matte paint.
The only "rule" is that the trim and doors should match each other. Regardless of the color
