A dark color will make the room more intimate. If you have lots of natural light, this would be fine. You can paint the ceiling just a few shades darker than the walls without going really dark. You can also paint the ceiling a pale shade of your accent color, or a soft sky blue.

With 8' ceilings, I think it looks better to go lighter on the ceiling. In this photo, the striking green color contrasting with the walls brings an intimate look and a spot of connecting color. If you're using a different shade of the same color, I don't think you'd get the same effect.
