I think the projector type is key to the color(s) you choose. What I mean by this is the amount of lumens (brightness) it produces. In my setup, I only have 250 lumens. As a result, any ambient light entering the room will "wash out" the picture. Therefore I painted the ceiling black (flat black to avoid reflections). The walls are a flat burnt-peanut-red (basically a red/maroon) with matching lite-tight vertical blinds. The results were *very* noticeable.
However, if you're going to go with one of those fancy-schmancy DLP's or a CRT that has 750 or 1000 plus lumens, I would think your wall color choices could be brighter than mine were. Either way, the ceiling should still be black in my opinion.
