Watching a neighbor's new build in Phoenix and the window trim is all wrong
They used the same flat white on the trim as the siding, so the whole front just looks flat and cheap from the street. How do you get people to see that contrast and depth actually matter?

Used to think trim was just extra detail, not that important. Then my buddy painted his place with a slightly darker trim and it was a total game changer. The whole house just popped and looked way more solid, like it had actual shape to it. Now I see flat jobs everywhere and they just look kinda unfinished. That contrast isn't just for looks, it gives the whole structure definition.

Flat paint looks clean and modern though.

Remember when everyone was painting everything the same flat color? I totally bought into that. Then I saw a house down the street that used a creamy white on the siding and a crisp, bright white on the trim. It wasn't a huge difference, but the whole house suddenly had shape. The windows looked deep and the porch columns looked solid. It made our own place, which is all one flat color, look kind of blurry and cheap by comparison. That small change gave it so much more weight and made it look finished.
