I would do either a light, bright green, like Sherwin Williams "lime granita," or a lighter shade of purple, like "inspired lilac."

There are a couple directions you could go with this.

First I'd suggest some sort of crown moulding around the ceiling to break up the color a little. Is the woodwork painted? White would be good.

For the walls, you could do a lighter lavender tint, or you could go for drama and do a light green. Either way, I would keep it light, since you have such a dramatic color on the ceiling. I would suggest adding some white accents as well--maybe a few of those round paper lanterns, picture frames, lampshades.

I really depends on the look you are going for. Deep lavender could almost look like a night sky - you could go with pale pink - earthy pink (Benjamin Moor "beach plumb 2072-60) for something fairly subtle but lovely, then go dramatic with your bedding and accents.

Another option could be to go with "Purple Lace 2068-60".

When I am unsure of what colour to chose, I take a paint chip in the same colour as my ceiling (in your case) and go to the paint store and hold it up until I see something that I think looks really nice. When you find 3 or 4 you like, ask for one of those really big paint chips to take home. Try looking at the colours again in your room in the morning, afternoon and in the evening. It should be pretty easy to decide then. Take into consideration the colour of the furniture in the room as well, if it is redish - you may want to go the beige/pink route and stay very neutral. If it the furniture is black or white, you could go a bit crazier and look at the blues (teal?) or even yellows!

Remember, it is just paint and if you chose something you hate, painting the walls is easier than painting the celing!

I guess look around and choose a color out of your existing palette. SOmething that goes weel with your furniture. Green is the complimentary color to purple, so they will look good but it will be a big difference.
If you want something more subtle choose a shade of blue with purple tones or a red with purple tones.
I would choose a light shade though so the room doesn't feel cave like.

Yes depends on your decor. At first I thought white with a hint of the lavender but then I thought Brilliant white. It will look crisp and clean. That with some nice large black and white framed art with a small black edge. Very contemporary maybe with some large paper lantern floor lamps.
