Thanks all. I bought SW Iron Ore = color. Is it ok to paint the baseboard with the same color too, so don't need to tape and make the job simple and easy?

Traditionally baseboard has a glossier finish, to make it stand out I bit, and maybe to make it easier to clean and protect the wood. Often times it’s painted before it’s installed too. But no reason other than esthetics it can’t be painted the same, up to you.

update on the painting project:
I bought the Super paint which is Latex with primer in one. It's been two weeks since I started to paint. Unfortunately it is more difficult than I thought even though I bought the homeright EZ twist roller, and I hurt my back while working on the ceiling! it's very hard to cover 100% of the wall with the iron ore color. staff at Sherwin Williams told me it is because the paint is thick and the original color is very light. hope to finish it this weekend if my back feels better!

I painted cabinets with SW Iron Ore and it was thick. (liked the color) Most paint can be thinned 10%.without it losing coverage. I usually do it. (and easier on your back, less drag) Pour some paint into separate container then thin. Since you're painting with one color, a sprayer would have been easy before any furnishings or rugs.
For future reference, have the primer tinted your color (it darkens it), then one coat usually works and roller flows easier. Back pain- Arnicare gel @ Walmart.
