Would a bright colored room look good with a black ceiling?

Question

Each wall is painted a different, bold color: teal, purple, green, and pink.

Would a black or white ceiling look better if i wanted the colors to really POP? (the border and wooding around the windows would be the same color)

Answer 1

well, if you choose black, then i think that THAT will be the main focal point since it is such a dark colour (shade) but white on the other hand is more calming and will go well with many colours allowing you to focus more on the colours then the ceiling:P

Answer 2

Well, since you are having wild colors on different walls.. I would paint the ceiling a bright yellow.. That would be your best bet. Not black though, it will make your room to dark, unless thats the way you like it.. Its really up to you..  

Answer 3

black will make TEAL pop (in a funky cool modern way by the way :)) but not so much with the other colors you mentioned

Answer 4

it will make your ceilings seem very low. the colors will pop even more against a white ceiling because black will take away from the colors. white fades, while black stands out

Answer 5

They would pop alright..  I would go with white because black will somber things up.

Answer 6

if you absolutely positively had to choose between black and white go with the white because it compliments your choices of pastel colors better. but all in all you should probably choose another pastel color in the cooler section of colors

Answer 7

A black ceiling will make it appear to be lower, smaller. If your a fan of openness, stick with white or a pastel. If you don't mind if it looks low/closed in, go for it, it would probably look cool.

Also keep in mind though, if you do paint it black and don't like it, it will be very hard to cover up.

Answer 8

Should be fine but it will make your ceiling and room look short.

I would suggest adding some kind of sparkle or light reflecting items to the ceiling.
