What about White Dove? What's the difference between it and white?

And ideally, you want the boards painted prior to install.

Do you know what wood will be used for the ceiling? Consider a clear (no knots) grade as it will paint much better.

Or, a light pigmented stain might work.

I should have been more specific in my post it would be white dove like the rest of the trim.

I would paint it the Brewster Gray. The blue gray color would be perfect for your ceiling.

How about a stained wood for the ceiling? We used Cypress, select kiln dried and stained it on site to complement the hardwood floors inside the house.

If you ever change the exterior color scheme of the house, a stained wood ceiling shouldn't need to be changed/painted too.

Neither BM White Dove or BM Brewster Gray. Why not a stained tongue & groove?

IF your vault is as steep as the inspo image, white will be stark and feel very tall not to mention show any cobb webs. The BM Brewster Gray limits you on changing decor down the line, but better than white. A Natural wood finish would be timeless.

A great outdoor living feel and would not show dust, humidity staining, etc.and compliment the natural feel of the stone floor. You could just poly the T & G or stain them any color you like.

^^^^^ This is my question also. We added a covered portion to a large patio that we installed a few years ago with a vaulted ceiling - we used cedar (we also have large cedar posts + decorative details on the front of the covered patio). Currently, my house is SW Alabaster for the main body - however, we may decide on a different color next time we need to paint. Plus, I think stained wood ceilings look really nice (chispa's ceiling looks beautiful).

If you use stained wood, you won't need to re-paint it. Also, a stained wood ceiling looks nice with all of the outdoor landscaping + container plantings that I have around the patio (including some that are under the covered area).

I would want stained wood to warm up the stamped concrete floor - fwiw our ceiling at the lake is also stained

We did a stained tongue and groove on our 3 season room ceiing and I love it. To me it is warm, timeless, classic. I stained each board myself and wouldn't change it for the world.

Traditional color would be haint blue - a very light turqouise

Stained wood sounds better. Haint blue is more for a traditional porch with a wood floor. You have a wood ceiling, which is more beautiful. Stain it and then install it.

Needs to be painted before install and all 6 sides (at the very least primer) or you will have issues.

I love blue for porch ceilings and IMO much nicer than stained wood above my head
