Oh my gosh, see I've always heard that painting a ceiling dark makes it appear to soar but I haven't really SEEN that done - that looks great!!!!!!!
Thank you . I'm so glad I went scouting for pics online before I chose paint colors. I NEVER would have thought about doing a dark ceiling. It's also made me accept the fact that the beautiful wood trim and crown molding had been painted...well, I guess I'm still a little bitter about it lol!
I was looking at possibly doing it SW China Doll or Kilim beige but in a north facing room would it come across "dirty" with the lack of natural lights would it appear the ceiling is dingy being it isn't a huge contrast color. IDK...I do like the Ecru too.

I'm pretty sure there are apps which can show you how colours will look
The ceiling is the fifth wall. And while I wouldn't necessarily want to draw attention to the ceiling, I get that the OP IS trying to draw attention to the molding and trim, which is painted white. So white on white isn't going to make it pop.
You would be surprised. If the trim is a cool white, then use a warmish white - it will absolutely make the trim pop. I've done it.
