Painting ceiling?

11 years ago

I'd like to paint our ceilings in our 70s ranch a very pale aqua/blue, but we have popcorn ceilings - more of a flat popcorn than the really heavily textured ones. I'm worried that instead of opening up the room, the ceiling will create a shadowy popcorn look. Good idea or not?
