Walls and ceiling all one colour?

last year

We have knocked through a wall to create an open plan kitchen/lounge/diner.
It's an L-shaped room and is a bright space with lots of natural light all day. We have 2 sets of French doors at the back of the space overlooking the garden.
The kitchen is pale grey and the floor throughout is oak.
The lounge has always been white, mainly as it's easy to touch up and there's zero cutting in at ceiling height! But, it can look quite stark at certain times of the day.
I'm thinking of doing it all a very pale grey including the ceiling but adding a green/grey or even a gold colour for the end wall that opens onto the garden.
Would painting the ceiling the same palest of greys work?
I'm dreading having to cut in and attempt to get a clean straight line between walls and ceiling otherwise!

I know, cutting in is a nightmare. I’ve even used frog tape which worked until I removed the tape and took some of the ceiling paint with it! I think all one colour will work well if you use a pale grey like Dulux Polished Pebble or F&B Ammonite. In the picture below the person used F&B Cabbage White on walls and ceiling.

I'm going to get a tester of dulux pepple & Ammonite by F&B. Do you think F&B are worth their very hefty price tag?

The worst that can happen is that you don't like it and have to repaint. I had to repaint part of my bedroom 3 times before we agreed on it.

We are buying a new build property with a kitchen colour matched to Farrow and Ball Hague Blue, we need to decide a paint colour for the entire house before we move in. What would be the best neutral to go for? We will repaint rooms after we've lived in the house for a while but at first all one colour.

No to the price of F&B. Especially when you can get the same colour matched by various good paint ranges.
I’ve also painted walls and ceilings the same colour and it works well.

I love F&B colours but all the other paint companies are copying them now so I don’t think they are worth the money and companies like Johnson’s do good colour matches.

I did my hallway with cheaper Wickes paint and it beat Dulux hands down!
