When painting an accent wall,should the trim and switchcover be painted the same color as the wall?

I always paint the trim and switch plate the same color, but it is a different color than the wall.The poster above paints everything the same color. So you see it all depends on what YOU like. :-)When painting an accent wall,should the trim and switchcover be painted the same color as the wall?
I have this pet peeve about painting trim or switch covers same as its' wall color. To me it shows that not much time or effort was put into the job...Basically, looks cheesy. Go with a contrasting trim and either remove the plates before painting or just go by some new ones. It'll look much neater and not so bland.When painting an accent wall,should the trim and switchcover be painted the same color as the wall?
You can go with the same color but darker. That's what I did, but it's up to you!
I think it looks better if all the trim in the room is the same color.
