I often paint the ceiling the same as the walls and I like matte for both .I do not love that color but that I guess depends on your house. If you think you chose because it is newtral IMO it is not . Make sure all your lighting is LED in 4000K or it will become even more yellow.

Like so many decisions in decorating, there is no hard and fast rule on this dilemma, no right or wrong, it's just what you like. Personally I also like the ceiling and walls the same color. But keep in mind that even painting them the same, the ceiling may appear different because you're looking at a color on a horizontal plane overhead versus a vertical plane on the walls. Put samples on both walls and ceiling and see how you like them together. If you don't like it, then consider painting the ceiling the same color as the trim.

And if you selected that color because you like the yellow, then I don't think it matters that light bulbs will make it appear more yellow :)

I always paint my ceiling the same color and sheen as my wall but cut the ceiling pigment by 50%. We had a phenomenal designer as our color consultant and that was a trick she used. She said the way that light bounces, a ceiling can get a lot of shadow making it look darker than the walls so she cuts the ceiling pigment. We have a historic house with high ceilings too. The wall and ceiling color looks seam less.

I agree with Patricia. If you are going for cream colored walls, sugar cookie is going to read very yellow. If you've tried large sample squares of it painted in different places in your room and enjoy it at every time of day and night lighting, maybe it is the right color for you.

I like walls and ceilings the same color too, and have it in several rooms. Exception to that, for me, is the kitchen, dining room, and living room. I do like white ceilings in those 3 rooms. I am not fond of the sugar cookie either, because, it is way to yellow for my liking, but, if you are looking for yellow, then it might be just right for you.

We have 10' ceilings and a tray that goes to 11' in some rooms. Walls and ceiling are both egg shell SW Patience 7555 with the molding and trim SW Snowbound. https://www.sherwin-williams.com/homeowners/color/find-and-explore-colors/paint-colors-by-family/SW7555-patience

I also find that if I use the same color on the ceiling as the walls, the color on the ceiling looks slightly darker. So now I always use 50% tint of the wall color on the ceiling.

Well it sounds like the consensus is to ditch the sugar cookie. I’m looking for a warm cream color. The sample I did below starting left yo right is BM windswept, SW Alabaster, and BM sugar cookie. I actually didn’t think it looked yellow at all but I was going to a bigger room this weekend - just didn’t get that far though. CD7733 - SW patience looks nice and I’m glad to see you also have dark cabinets. We do to so it helps me a ton!!
