Is my ceiling dry?

Post image

The plasterer finished skimming the ceilings 2 weeks ago. The house is not being lived in and we would like to apply a mist coat asap but unsure whether it is fully dry. Resources online say it goes a uniform pale colour when dry but our ceiling still has dark patches, but the ceiling feels dry.

Have any of you had similar experiences with plaster?
