    I have a copper ceiling, but it is antiqued so it is on the darker side not quite shinny penny. It was shinny penny when I put it up and treated it after. We have a dark green on our walls prior to install and it looked good both ways. The green is not paint it is Venetian Plaster. Gretchen Urn to be the proper name of the color and it is available at H.D.(Big orange box. Sorry no free plugs here) It gives the walls a nice marbled look that adds an extra contrast to normally smooth walls. It complements the texture and pattern of the copper pattern. It is a 3 day project, but it was worth it. We got the idea while on vacation in Italy.

    It depends on the size of the room. If the room is very large and open, by all means, go with a rich cinnamon, red or burnt orange. A darker green would also work nicely.

    However, if the room is small or medium sized, stick w/ yellows, light greens or a nutty beige.

    I'm sure the ceiling is gorgeous!

    Best of luck to you!

    you want a contrasting color but one that still goes with the copper. I would think maybe a burnt sienna would be to simular

    maybe the mustard yellow.
