Yeah, I'd leave it white.  Brown would make it look like a cave.

that's pretty much what i thought. dark brown = cave.  does this apply to all colors?

No, it isn't always the case.  I think a lot of times it depends on the color and the room.  Sometimes even a shade or two lighter of the wall color looks nice on the ceiling.  I've never bothered with painting the ceiling a color for two reasons, one I like the uniform look of all white ceilings and secondly, painting a ceiling is a pain in the neck, quite literally   I had to paint our family room ceiling when we knocked down a wall and I swore never to paint a another one ever again!!!

This idea might be a little non-standard, but you could paint the ceiling a really pale blue.  With chocolate brown walls and white crown moulding, it would look really pretty.
