Master BR Vaulted ceiling extra white trim walls SW moody blue..What accent color can I paint ceilings? And should an adjoining bathroom be neutral or use another blue on same color strip? BR North facing Bathroom South facing.
Yes the crown molding is SW extra white. Just want a bit of contrast
We did a darker shade of the same color as our walls in our LR and Solarium...we did a bronze ceiling and light cream wall combo in our dining area. Our reasoning (well, MY reasoning...hubby didn't care lol) was that b/c the crown molding was so large and white already that the dark ceiling would make it "pop" more. Now, had the crown molding been kept it's original (stained and shellac) then we would have kept the white ceiling.
Just my personal opinion, but I would never paint a ceiling anything other than some shade of white. Anything else is weird and even slightly claustrophobic.
When you wanted a hue of wall color in the ceiling "white", painters would add a cup (8oz) of the wall color to a gallon of the white ceiling paint. Of course there are some colors that this doesn't work well with- like red!

I think it depends on the size of the room and the lighting. We have 9.5' ceilings here and a ton of windows. The dark gray ceiling with light gray walls and the large white trim really ended up looking nice. I looked at a ridiculous amount of pics online for ceiling colors and the dark ceiling / light wall combo really jumped out at me...never would have thought I would have painted a ceiling dark gray lol!

I am sure that would work with her walls, but not so sure it would look great with the trim.
Honestly, I’d go with a lighter hue of the wall color.
