Hi ,just an update .ceiling painted in matt sharp blue (just about black) and walls in matt berma bluff (pale brown).Wow what a difference it makes more truer black more contrast and more vivid colors.It’s like having a new 1080p projector,I’ve decided to stick with the old 1080i Infocus for a while now…
cheers for the advice.

The room is repainted but not in my first color pic but my wifes choice.The ceiling is Sharp Blue in matt(Blacky blue like the night sky)and the walls are burma buff in matt(pale tan).Huge impovement watching during the day,not as washed out and superb veiwing at night .More vivid color and better contrast.

Hi thanks for the info’
you confirmed my belief,My HT room of 4 years now has had a fixed 94″ screen and ceiling mounted Infocus projector and been doing an incredible job considering, how the room is painted total gloss off white.My wife has this week given me permision to change the colour scheme,I’m thinking of dark flat burnt orange on the walls flat dark dark rusty red or dark dark navy blue on ceiling.
Cheers Rick

I need help!
I have a brand new home and have a dedicated home theatre room – i have selected charcoal carpet for the room but am unsure what colour to paint the walls and ceiling.
I was thinking of a deep plum on the walls celing still not sure.
Our projection unit is operated from a unit on the ground – it is not mounted off the ceiling. The doors however are a gloss off white

I stumbled upon this article today and at a good time because I am trying to pick out colors for my room!

Brown is one of my choices or green or possibly blue.

Now I have seen plenty of theater rooms where the side walls are a lighter shade and the ceiling and screen walls are about the same darkness whether they used a flat black or a dark shade of a color.

I heard that an all black room makes your room appear smaller. If this is true, will it still feel that way if only your ceiling and screen wall is black? Side walls would be a lighter to medium shade of choice of color.

I have also heard people painting their ceilings with a Milano Blue type of paint thats blue but when your turn the lights off appears gray or even black.

As for the green I am looking at Marble Green from Glidden but I would want to tint it to make it darker for the side walls. Either a darker green or black for the screen walls and possibly the ceiling or go with that blue for the ceiling.

I have the Panasonic AE2000 LCD Projector.

Thanks for any suggestions you may have.

AJ, I think you’ll ultimately be disappointed in that solution if your goal is sound proofing. The recording booth glass isn’t very good at stopping low frequencies.
