[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Finally scheduled to paint living room, going with bm cotton balls,  a warm white. I like the look of white trim ( which there is a lot in this room) and then a nice color on the ceiling, I want to avoid doing the ceiling in a flat white. I like light blues, but open to ideas... does anyone have any ceiling color suggestions to go with the creamy white? My house is a classic, white Victorian my style leans scandavian/crisp modern country. [b]The hallway color outside the room is bm feather grey[/b].  Thanks so much, I always get great help here...[/quote]

What if you did the BM Feather Grey at 50%?  Then white trim in satin finish, and then walls in Cotton Balls in eggshell finish.

One of the best 'tricks of the trade' that we learned from our favorite designer years ago was to paint the ceiling in pearl at 50% of the wall color and the trim in a bright white with a satin finish.  Since your wall color is basically white, you will be using the adjacent wall color on your ceiling.
