Most modern paints are ok there shouldnt be a problem using matt emulsion either if thats your preference...(vinyl not contract)..having said that, it mould is a problem then you will need something you can wipe easily

Silk is ok but tends to show up all the lumps and bumps on a smooth ceiling

Acrylic eggshell..more resistant to steam but again. will show up a bad ceiling.

Oil based eggshell/satin..same as above but with the smell!

Dont be fooled by using kitchen and bathroom paint...the marketing people would have us believe its the only thing you can use...it isnt and its just a fancy name for acrylic eggshell.
