Default Painting Where to Start

Hi all....
I have 5 rooms to paint. The ceilings will all be the same color. The
walls different colors in each room. What do the pros paint first? Ceiling
or walls? Does the sequence change if 3 of the walls in any given room will
be painted one color and the fourth wall a different color? Thanks for the
input. John

Cut in the ceilings first. It'll be easier to do a good job cutting in on the
tops of the walls. Put darker colors on after lighter ones.Tom

Ceilings first. Other wall colors don't matter.
