It's interesting, I instinctively thought second option better (wall colour) but then remembered that at my parents it's white gloss to match the balustrade. So 🤷♀️
I guess tonally I prefer wall colour, but the problem will be the paint will be a different finish which looks odd. Unless you can use the same emulsion. In which case I still vote wall colour.
We did an understairs cupboard door in a Dulux satin colour match to the walls which were Matt. It looks great in anything but super bright light which this rarely gets.
I go match the wall with the fronts and do the skirting to match the stairs.
