If you have a small property either remove the dado ( or dildo rail as its known in trade) then fill the gap keft with toupreith.
Seal and re emulsion the whole wall as 1 colour only.
Otherwise if you are worried about the damage you can either just treat the dado as part of the wall and emo.it in with wall colour.
These off whites or muted shades work best.
Or again keep to 1 shade but use eggshell or sheen finish below dado which will give a gentle contrast due to sheen variation.

looks a nice tidy job.
something very satisfying about some paint jobs.
This is my 33rd year working as a decorator & I still get some pleasure from the finished job(although not all the time!)

That cream rad was white once upon a time I am led to believe. Looked filthy when I compared before and after. Now need to do the rest of the room
