Paint color to paint the ceiling like the sky?

[LexyLou]

We're planning on painting a sky and cloud scene on the ceiling of our second daughter's nursery but I'm having a very hard time deciding on a blue color to use for the sky.

Has anyone done this? What color and brand did you use?

Thanks!

A friend of mine did something like this to match her son's bedding. She purchased from the Pottery Barn Paint collection that Benjamin Moore has http://www.benjaminmoore.com/wrapper_Pottery.asp.

Not exactly sure of the technique her painter used, but I know this was the brand of paint because I loved how it turned out. Good luck!
