Indeed the original post was meant to approach the subject from the technical versus the aesthetic side of things.

I have always been under the impression that, especially in a front-projection system, darker colors on the walls/ceiling, do not allow as much light to be reflected back onto the screen, thus coloring the image.

As far as the lady of the house is concerned, she and I agree that we want to paint the room whatever color is most "technically correct." She is not opposed to seeing a black or dark gray room. We also know that our guests would "hang out" in that room simply for the music or movies. They have all become accustomed to seeing odd isolation platforms, gray RPG Profoam on the walls, and various other neurotic audiophile "thingys."

Just as an aside to this whole gender equality issue, we own a large 3,000 square foot house, and we have an agreement--she gets the kitchen, living room, bathrooms, and the master bedroom, and I get the HT/Music room, hobby room, and rec room. Overall a very fair deal, considering that she and I have the same tastes in color/decor schemes.

So, I return to my original question--given that color is not an issue to decor, what color is most "technically correct?"

Thank you very much, gentlemen!
