I would be very cautious about using such a cool gray inside a home described as a cottage.

Consider these paint colors instead.

Every paint company offers ceiling paint premixed in a plain white. Ceiling paint is formulated to be extremely matte to hide surface flaws that are sometimes more apparent on ceiling surfaces.

This article may help, but lighting and decor will have an influence, so be sure to test a few different shades. A BM consultant will also be a good resource. https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-colors/color/1557/silver-song
