white trim

Light-colored border accent

White trim refers to the decorative woodwork—moldings, baseboards, door frames, window casings—painted white in a building's interior or exterior.

White trim against colored walls is a classic design choice: The blue walls looked sharp against the white trim.

The phrase also describes a vehicle's exterior accent color or interior upholstery details.
