Your ceiling doesn’t have to be white.
Available in all Benjamin Moore paint colors except Aura® Color Stories® (CSP). Choose a classic white, coordinate with your walls, or make the ceiling a feature.
Choose your color & size
Ceiling White is the ready-mixed white option. Base 1–4 are tinting bases, not finished colors. Contact our team with your color name or number so we can confirm the correct base and available container size before you order a custom color. Color Stories colors cannot be made in N508.
The displayed price is per selected container. Color and size availability depend on the tint base stocked in that size.
How much ceiling paint do I need?
Coverage: approximately 400–450 sq ft per gallon, per coat. Multiply ceiling length by width, then multiply by the planned number of coats. Divide by 400 for a conservative gallon estimate and round up.
A 12 × 12 ft ceiling is 144 sq ft; two coats total 288 sq ft, generally within one gallon’s coverage. Texture, porosity and color changes can increase the amount needed.
Preparation & drying
Use on properly prepared interior ceiling surfaces. Prime new surfaces and spot-prime repairs as required. Water or smoke stains may need a specialty stain-blocking primer.
Typical recoat time: 1–2 hours at 77°F and 50% relative humidity. Cool or humid conditions take longer. Clean tools with warm, soapy water.
