Internal door colour - white or the same colour as walls and skirting?

All the internal doors my house are white (F&B Wimborne White). In the study, which still needs to be decorated, it’s white outside, but needs to be painted inside - looks like the previous owner prepped it but then left it unfinished. I am not sure yet what the room will look like, currently I’m thinking about a washed blue/verdigris scheme with maybe a wallpaper above the dado rail. I think it would not be very dark or saturated, because otherwise most of the house is off white, and there are no strong colours in other rooms. If I paint the skirting the same colour as the wall, will the door look ok white? There are two windows in the room and they are and will stay white. I’d like to paint the door fairly soon, because it doesn’t look great, and until now I thought I’d paint it white like all others, but I started to hesitate. I don’t want to do it now, and repaint again, because it’s a double door, very tall, with several glass squares, so painting it is quite some faff.

What would you do?

If you decide to keep the door white, ensure the facings are the same colour as the door or it’ll look odd. Still fine to do the skirtings in same as the walls.

Yes @Heartofmetal I would do that, you’re right it would look strange otherwise.
