Ceiling Paint Colours That Beat White Any Day!
Nothing creates space better than white or off-white walls. It’s one of the most common paint colour choices for homes. But what people don’t know is that too much white doesn’t always look the best. You don’t want your house to look like an institution, do you? Of course not.
When your walls are white, it may not be the best move to paint your ceiling the same colour.
Having white, off-white, or neutral walls is your chance to break the glass ceiling (see what we did there?) and go for something bold.
Today you’re getting top ceiling paint colour recommendations for when your house already has too much white. Let’s get started!
1) Sky Blue
Name a better colour for your ceiling than sky blue. We’ll wait. But in all seriousness, sky blue is a beautiful contrast for white, darker blue, or even sandy brown walls.

2) Forest Green
Forest green is lush and soothing, as any green should be. This shade of green is the ultimate blend of glamorous and down-to-earth.

3) Cream
Cream is for anyone that doesn’t want to stray too far from the traditional white ceiling but still wants something a little different. It’s a soft shade of off-white with a buttery yellow undertone for that elegant, cozy warmth.

4) Onyx
Like the stone, onyx is a strong colour choice. It’s only a hint lighter than black, so it only works in well-lit rooms. When balanced with the right amount of white, you can even use this as a continuation of dark walls to create a visually higher ceiling.

Ink Well by Sherwin-Williams

5) Magenta
Magenta is a deep pink that screams whimsy but has an undeniable touch of elegance. As a ceiling paint colour, it’s perfect for white or blush-pink walls and can blend with almost any warm shade like red, orange, and more.

Exuberant Pink by Sherwin-Williams

6) Muted Green
The ever-popular muted green is a cool-toned earthy colour that’s light enough to create visual space. It’s soft yet still moody, and like other shades of green, it fits perfectly into neutral and earthy colour palettes.
Some fan-favourite muted greens:
Evergreen Fog by Sherwin-Williams
Dried Thyme by Sherwin-Williams
Norway Spruce by Benjamin Moore
Pine Forest by Benjamin Moore
7) Dusty Pink
Everyone loves dusty pink because it’s light and airy with a soft beige glow for subtle warmth. Plus, it pairs well with other warm colours like pink, peach, and orange.

Fantasy Pink by Benjamin Moore
Pink Hibiscus by Benjamin Moore
Oleander by Sherwin-Williams

8) Peach
Peach is a light orange shade with all those vintage, coastal vibes. We love it because it’s not too vibrant but still captures attention, especially as a ceiling paint colour.
