About ceiling paint colors
Ceilings are the largest single surface in any room and almost always painted plain white by default. Color choice on a ceiling can transform a room: a slightly-pink ceiling adds warmth across the room, a sky-blue ceiling extends daylight, a tone-matched ceiling makes a small room feel taller.
The picks below cover the canonical white-ceiling options plus the color-ceiling alternatives that work without going gimmicky. Soft warm whites for most rooms. Pale sky and haint blues for porches and traditional houses. Tone-matched ceiling (paint ceiling the same color as walls but in a flat sheen) for moody rooms that want to feel enveloping.
