Same colour in ceilings and walls?

I'm painting my walls a very soft white/white with the teeniest, tiniest hint of something. Exact colour TBD.

Would you also paint the ceiling the same colour? I'm wondering if 2 different white tones would look odd next to each other.

I've painted a creamy beige colour on my walks and ceiling!

Who says ceilings have to be white? Where did that way of thinking even come from?

Yes I've done this a few times now, makes the room look cosy. I've always had compliments and people saying that they'd try it next time.
Good luck!

My en suite bathroom is painted peacock blue on two walls and the ceiling, it looks lovely,

Love the idea. I’m thinking of doing same thing. So yes go for it!

My bedroom has a curved ceiling (chalet house) and I had the whole room painted in one colour, Morning Light, Dulux. It would have been a nightmare trying to do the ceiling a different colour.

Our bedroom walls are F&B Wimborne White with one wallpapered wall. The ceiling is the same colour as advised by the decorator we used. It looks great. I think a different white on the ceiling would have been odd. We've got cornicing as well that's also painted the same.

I haven't done it but it is called 'colour drenching' and is most definitely a thing!

In your situation yes.

I’m not a big fan of bold or dark colours on the ceiling as it makes me feel claustrophobic but if you are using basically a white anyway then it won’t.

However I don’t think you need to worry about two whites next to each other looking odd. Usually the light is so different on a wall vs ceiling that our brain doesn’t expect them to look the same anyway, ie the different angle explains any difference in colour.
