Re: Color for new HT room?

I would recommend that you seek your fiance's advice, if you care to have her join you in the room. Otherwise, your bizarre color scheme will be a sore point - a source of ridicule that will decrease YOUR enjoyment of the room as well.

If you are in the slightest bit anal-retentive or neurotic (if you're here at this forum you're either one or the other or most likely both), another reason besides those mentioned above is that black paint will highlight every little flaw in the wall when light hits it (especially if you use semigloss or high gloss paint). If the wall is drywall and tape construction, the darker the color the more likely you WILL see every damn seam in the wall. This is not a good thing. This is one of the main reasons that new homes are delivered painted white or off-white. The builder does NOT want you to pick apart the drywall and plaster work during the final walkthrough. Unless your new home is impeccably constructed using plaster skimcoat by a very skilled tradesman and the paint job is done by an extremely careful painter, I would urge you to reconsider on this point alone even if you don't come to your aesthetic senses.
