I really don't think the white trim goes that well with taupe, as the white is perhaps too bright against such a soft color. White trim seems to go with red or black leather, but still not quite my cup of tea.

msf,
I think all of those combos go together quite well, but I am partial to the anthracite. I tend to like really dark, almost black wood trim, as they are a good compromise of pure sporty trim (e.g. aluminum or white gloss) and luxurious trim (walnut), while still looking more modern than walnut, and more sophisticated than the gloss trims.

Anthracite looks best if you set it off against a lighter color than black, such as terracotta or oyster (my preferred combo with anthracite).
