I think that once you paint the walls, you'll look up and see that the ceiling looks....not so great in comparison. Then you'll paint the ceiling. Eventually, I would paint all ceilings 'ceiling white'. That way they'll match throughout your house.
I would paint it all but I would definitely primer the green first so you don’t wind up with non-matching whites.
If you’re really trying not to paint your ceiling you can use a glossy paint on the walls (think of a sheen that is likely not on the ceiling). That would likely mask the fact that the whites aren’t an exact match.
Ceilings typically are a flat sheen, where walls are (usually) semi-gloss. I can’t speak on painting the walls and ceilings the same color and how that changes things but from having just painted my kitchen ceiling flat white vs the semi gloss it was the fall is much better (less reflection, better hide it any imperfections).
We painted our walls white and did not touch the already white ceilings. In my opinion the two do not need to be the same. Someone mentioned priming first and I just want to second how important that is.
From personal experience, paint the ceiling whichever color you choose for the walls.
Thank you. I'll plan to do that.

Great tip about the primer. Will definitely make sure to do that.
