I always use Dulux's Ceiling White on my ceilings. It's the base white that all other whites (and a lot of colours are made from. Then, when you choose a white for the walls, you actually can see the colour that is the 'body' of that white - be it a red, or a grey, or yellow, or brown or similar. One of my faves is "Whisper White". Basic, simple white that still has some warmth. I like differentiating between floor, wall and ceiling elements by using different colours or tones. It generally makes it feel more spacious, and helps with light and openness.

Thanks. House completed a while back. Builder did all trim and doors in vivid white. Ceilings in ceiling white. Left it to them.

Good morning! I love love love your ceiling! As others have asked - is it something that repeats through the house? I would 100% keep them - the key is to work with them not fight against them. I would also replace the light fitting - look at having recess lights installed. There are a number of things that you can do when you have such a prominent feature such as this in a room - you either choose to work with it and 'calm' it down into the space - such as painting the ceiling and the walls in the same colour - or you say - to hell with it and make it the hero of the room. I have seen some stunning ceilings where the walls have been painted in a 'white' and the ceiling painted in a strong colour such as navy which then ties into accents in the room. It would obviously depend on your personal style. Good luck!

Builders white is not Ceiling White (which is the base vivid white). Builders white is vivid white a few drops of black and adds practicality when covering a large area, because it tends to cover small marks slightly better. It is still very white, almost unnoticeably different. My understanding is professionals opt for this to improve performance and coverage. It is a better choice for the customer and for the painter. Vivid white is difficult to work with unless you're prepared to do lots of coats. Builders You may find that Lexicon Quarter is the same as builders white: vivid white with a few drops of black. Lexicon quarter is the go to very bright white from dulux. Natural white simply has more black added to it, to take off the stark edge off.
