Black Crown Molding....wall Paint Ideas? - Painting - DIY Chatroom ...

Quote:

I want to know the obvious. What color are they now and WHY were they painted black to begin with. In all my years,I do not think but once have I seen black trim and I painted that.

I painted a lot of gallery and sound studios ceilings that had to be black for some reasons including disguising infrastructure but Chris, you win.

I have never painted a piece of nice crown molding black.Somebody did though.

I have rescued a few "teenage years" goth black bedrooms from the darkside though, once in a drop dead Victorian. It had nice flat black on walls and ceiling and I could tell the trim was done by a master. I looked for a crypt and only worked on it during daylight hours. Vampires and others among the living dead don't scare me much. But put some make believe goth teen popping out of the closet, dogged out with a mutt with a tiny black bow and black lipstick? Don't think I could take the shock.

Sorry folks, black trim, especially nice crown up around the ceiling, just does not strike me as elegant. Maybe I will change my mind if I see wall and ceiling color and what was used for the rest of the trim. Right now the OP is suggesting white and I cannot process this looking good. Especially if doors and windows are still white or something.
