Hello,
Was in HD today, and saw paint labeled as Valspar, Latex, Interior, Flat
White.
Then, right next to it, exactly the same label, but also had "Ceiling Paint"
on the label.
Everything else the same. Prices the same, too.
What makes a Latex interior paint a "Ceiling Paint" ? What's different ?
Thanks,
B.

Viscosity, primarily. Ceiling paint is somewhat thicker so it doesn't
drip/spatter so badly going on.

They are often lower cost and not as durable since ceilings don't get the
wear that walls do.
I always paint he ceiling first and don't worry about getting it on the
walls where they meet, then I can cut in the wall paint and get a nice
straight line with a good brush.

From OP's query...
"...exactly the same label, but also had "Ceiling Paint"
on the label. Everything else the same. Prices the same, too."
And often, not... :)

If it was white ceiling paint the difference is the color. It doesn't have
much color, but they add just a small amount of tint to make it ceiling
color. I forget what that tint is.
