Answer

Yes, putty is a good contrasting trim color for Alabaster walls because it is a soft, warm neutral that provides subtle contrast without harshness. Putty typically sits about fifteen to twenty LRV points darker than Alabaster, adding depth and definition to window and door trim. It complements Alabaster's creamy warmth and coordinates well with various flooring tones. Always test putty samples in your space to confirm undertones harmonize under your unique lighting before committing.
