What Is Benjamin Moore's Best Ceiling Paint?
Your ceiling isn't typically the first design element your guests notice when entering a room, but the right ceiling paint can completely change how a space looks and feels. The right ceiling can evoke feelings that are noticeable as soon as one steps in. A ceiling showcasing a streaky finish or visible imperfections detracts from even the best wall color. On the other hand, a well-painted ceiling creates the clean, polished effect all homeowners are looking for.
At The Color Store, we always recommend Benjamin Moore Waterborne Ceiling Paint for its ability to hide surface flaws, prevent lap marks, and deliver outstanding coverage. Readon to learn more about Benjamin Moore’s best ceiling paint.
An Ultra-Flat Finish to Hide Imperfections
Ceilings can be tricky. They may have uneven textures, minor dents, or past roller marks that refuse to go unnoticed. Unlike walls, which can hide small flaws behind the drywall, decor, or artwork, ceilings are fully exposed, making imperfections hard to ignore. This can be great for catching issues in the home, like moisture or mold, but you don’t want every bump or nick in the drywall or sheetrock to stand out.
That's where Benjamin Moore Waterborne Ceiling Paint comes in. Its ultra-flat finish absorbs light rather than reflecting it, softening surface irregularities that glossier paints would emphasize. Therefore, you'll enjoy fewer visible seams, less distraction from past paint jobs, and a ceiling that looks smooth and uniform from wall to wall, no matter the time of day or the direction of the light. As an added bonus, this paint has zero VOC and no odor, so you won't have to deal with harsh fumes when revamping the ceiling.
Great Coverage Without the Lap Marks
If you've ever taken on the job of painting a ceiling, you know how frustrating lap marks can be—those dreaded streaks where wet and dry sections overlap and create texture that you can see. It's common for ceilings to dry faster than walls because heat rises, which is why premium ceiling paint is a must. Benjamin Moore engineered Waterborne Ceiling Paint’s formula to dry quickly without leaving behind marks.
Pro tip: It also helps to keep a wet edge, which means overlapping each new roller pass with the previous one before it dries. This technique prevents visible streaks for a uniform finish across the entirety of the ceiling.
When Aura Bath & Spa Is a Better Choice
Benjamin Moore ceiling paint is impressive, but it's not always a top pick for humid rooms like bathrooms. That's because the bathroom ceiling faces constant exposure to steam from the shower, and regular ceiling paint can lead to peeling or mildew issues.
For these areas, try Benjamin Moore Aura® Bath & Spa Interior Paint. It has a matte finish that resists humidity while still providing excellent coverage. It's also a good idea to use this type of paint in kitchens, especially in small kitchens or busy households.
