Or use "swiss technique" to take it even further. Seal the tape with colour underneath and then paint over with the new colour when dry.
The first paint will seal any gaps in the tape, which will match the existing paint, and then you'll get no bleed with the new colour.
This does rely on having both colours of paint tho.
It's definitely a thing right now - minimalist / graphic take on the aesthetic of a traditional dado rail. I wish i'd done in an eggshell as our stair has a greasy brown smudge up it where the kids have used the wall rather than the bannister on the other side. If you do it use good masking tape (frog tape) and peel off before dry to get a good edge.
