    LOVE IT! LOVE PURPLE!! There is not a single white ceiling in my house..... The living room walls are purple with a pearlized mossy green ceiling. Lighting changes throughout the day have some spectacular effects on the ceiling! Sounds weird, but I love to recline and just stare at the ceiling.......!

    I love it. There is enough white to make the ceiling pop.

    It's perfect with all of the white and the ceiling height can definitely handle the color well. Great choice to do this. It makes the room. Cudos!

    Love the idea of NOT white ceiling, but for me it would have to be a light or med blue.

    I recently saw an ad for Loews or HomeDepot with white walls and deep purple ceiling and love love loved it. I say go for it. It is very classy, dramatic and you will be the envy of your friends who will soon be painting their ceilings.

    I think it is gorgeous... and is a strong argument that white walls don't have to make a space feel ultra modern. may reference in an upcoming post. thanks.

    I am wanting to darken my bedroom and am going with an Americana theme. I was thinking of navy ceiling. The walls have me baffled. Should i go for a parchment color, taupe color, or a wedgewood blue color? I will be adding splashes of cranberry red in keeping with the Americana feel.

    Connie I love the idea of an Americana theme and I think your palette is pretty dead on, but I'd be very fearful of going so dark on the ceiling. do you have high ceilings? 10 foot? I hosted a "discussion" on this topic on my blog this week. I will try to post it to HomeTalk later today. good luck.

    This looks good. Lately I have been painting ceilings the same color as the room (if it is a light color) I want to do a gray stipple or spatter ceiling.
