In all seriousness, black is the best color for a room. Period*. Now if you have to impress a certain person of the other "sex" you might have to opt for a more appropriate color. Darker is better. Duller the finish is better.


*If you wan't the most help with contrast.

I agree with you phansson that darker makes for a better viewing experience, but people should realize they don't have to paint the entire room a solid, dark color if they don't want to. It's not a requirement. Although the screen wall should be black IMHO, especially if it's a dedicated theater.

The idea here is we should reduce the amount of reflected light as much as possible when a movie is playing. I think you can do this and still create whatever room you're shooting for. You could paint a medium gray color with say.. blue panels and it would look perfectly fine while watching a movie. You just don't want light colored, empty walls.

I still have quite a few details to add to my room which will reduce the amount of reflected light even more. Even as it is, I don't feel distracted whatsoever by my surroundings and I probably have one of the lightest "base" color theaters around.
