Opinions on rim color for finishing basement?

I am finishing my basement in a more modern design with a home theater, exercise room, kitchen, an extra bedroom, office space, a wine cellar and large open game room. I am considering painting the trim black, and possibly painting or staining the doors a different color, like dk. brown. The color scheme is going to be brighter colors like kiwi green, reds and cobalt blue. The rest of the house is transitional in design with white trim and doors. I have 9' ceilings and 4 windows with several transoms of glass and glass doors to let light in, so I am not really worried about it being too dark. The flooring I have chosen for the theater is a red/geometric print, cork for the wine cellar and neutral white/brown/tan 24" tile with stainless steel accent bars. I would like to know if anyone has seen or done black trim and their opinions on it. Thanks.

Black satin is a wonderful trim. Sometimes I tone it a little with some dark brown paint to make it warmer. In your wine cellar where you'll have browns and tans, that might help pull it together nicely. Another way to do it if you think the black is too cold is to roll a coat of amber shellac over it to warm it up.

But I'd say go for it. That would be a great way to have continuity and flow between your rooms and it would be very striking against the bold colors that you've picked in the main room. Enjoy!
