For best results for video, go to a camera store and get a Kodak 18% neutral density gray reference card. Take the card to a paint store and have it color matched. Preferably, they will use a deep base tint which will have more earth tones. Paint the walls in a flat or eggshell finish and the ceiling flat.The 18% neutral density gray will minimize the effects of reflected light on your color perception. The flat or eggshell finish will minimize the amount of reflection from walls and ceiling.
Also, a dark charcoal carpet will enhance the overall effect.
If your system is direct view or rear projection, use a D65 or 6500K backlight behind the monitor. If you have front projection, no additional light should be needed while viewing video.
