What color ceiling?

6 years ago

My daughter wants a garden-themed bedroom and is likely going to have a light green carpet (still deciding) and light blue walls (depends on shade of carpet). There is crown molding, which will be some shade of white, and the curtains will either be light pink or white.

Would it be too much to do a very light yellow ceiling or should it be a white that is the same or similar to the molding?
