A Look at Lighter Colors
A lighter paint color above eye level can help to visually raise the ceiling. In any size room, painting the ceiling with a lighter shade–often a lighter variant of the wall color–is a clever design choice. This approach provides subtle contrast and adds depth to the space, while maintaining the unity of existing colors. You may also want to consider a light contrasting color, which also draws the eye upwards while maintaining an overall open, airy look, as seen here. Not only does Powder Pink 2009-70 heighten this space, it adds a playful touch to an otherwise formal room.
