Are you supposed to put regular drywall on the ceiling above a shower/tub?

That's what it had before but I didn't know if I should be putting green board up there during a remodel and what painting considerations should be made.
I'm doing some google-fu and am seeing answers all over the map.
TIA!
edit: I'm talking about the ceiling.

I would put the green rock since it wont cost much more but regular would be fine unless it is getting wet

Be super trashy and put you up some backsplash

if you have a house full of midgets then regular drywall will be fine

Just hire someone
If you can’t afford it start a gofundme claiming you have some terminal disease and people will donate and you have a new bathroom.

Greenboard it all if it’s going around a shower.

the green board is just sheetrock with mold resistant paper so use the green board.
for side walls use duraboard (cement board) all the way up to the ceiling or to whatever point you are tiling over it, use green board on any surface in kitchen or bath near water or moisture if your just painting over it.
if the shower stall is an enclosed moisture trap (not ope to let the steam out on top) then i would put duraboard (cement board) on the ceiling and tile over it

The price difference isn't that much. I went with all green board in the bathroom.
But no the ceiling can be regular.

I prefer Kerdi board all around, but especially on the ceiling; so much easier to work with.
Tiling a ceiling is no fun, even for those with experience.

Purple mold and moisture resistant Sheetrock should be used on all wet areas in the home. Those areas include ceilings above tubs and showers. The general rule is for a typical house, for every 100 pc of Sheetrock, 8 would be purple mold and moisture.
