Ceilings are a much neglected surface for paint. I have decorator friend who claim a ceiling should never be anything but white, but I disagree.
I used a midnight blue on the ceiling of my studio against everyone's advice (they all claimed it would bring the ceiling down) but I found it was like working outdoors on a clear night. The ceiling all but disappeared from my consciousness.
I have done murals on several ceilings, included pale blue with fluffy little clouds in a nursery, and the canopy of a forest in a young man's room.
I love to do the faux coffered ceiling look by adding a moulding a foot or so from the wall and painting the outer area a slightly darker shade of the colour I paint the inner area. Even if you just paint the ceiling a much lighter colour of your wall colour it tends to add a bit of something special to the room.

If it is a light color I would think it would look OK, but it will make your room look smaller. How about one wall in a dark color and a contrasting color on the walls. Make a stencil and put clouds on the ceiling. I did this in my kitchen.
