Default Getting the 97 wagon painted yellow. Keep the trim black or paint it?

The wagon is currently blue/green, but will be canary yellow on may 22nd. Should I leave the trim black or get it painted also? I have 18" black Zinik Sabinis on the car. That is why I am considering keeping the black trim. Give me your opinion

What color is the interior? If it's tan, I would paint the trim yellow, if it's charcoal/grey/black I would have the trim on the outside the dark grey almost black color. That's my opinion.

I almost bought a yellow T5R and I was going to paint the trim the same color as the body. My wife couldn't believe it. She really likes the contrasting color of the trim. If you look at 98 S/V70 you can see what they look like with the trim the same color as the body. Not sure what years Volvo had contrasting trim and what years they kept it the body color. I know they have gone back and forth.

My interior is dark gray. I am really on the fence on this. I really think painitng the trim body color would look cool, but with the dark interior and black rims, the dark trim might not be bad either.
