Interior trim that is NOT white?

Hello,
I am new here, but I could not resist posting about our in-progress paint scheme. I really want to have non-white trim, but I am scared! It is so uncommon in North America, and I have hardly ever seen it in person.

We are going to use Farrow and Ball paints. So far, we love House White (creamy white/yellow) for the dining nook and kitchen. I am thinking about old white or off white as a trim colour. Our floors are Brazilian cherry, which is lovely, although would not have been my first choice. They are very red!

Is this crazy? I plan to continue the colour throughout the house slowly, as we repaint over time. We have just moved into a large new home, and we are planning on repainting it all as time passes.

Do you think these colours are going to be too strong for trim? What colours should I choose to go with them for the other rooms? Can you think of another trim colour that is not white, but still would work with many other colours?

Thank you!
