In Reply to: Color for new HT room? posted by GaryM on February 25, 2001 at 16:39:16:
I've recently completed a small HT room and was amazed at what a difference the color scheme makes in improving picture quality.
For what it's worth, I painted the ceiling black (flat, NOT semigloss or gloss which causes TOO much reflection), the walls are a burnt peanut red (flat again!) which is similar to a deep red/maroon. The trim between the ceiling and walls is a gray, and in that case I did use a semigloss. The trim around each of the three windows is the same gray. Light-tight style mini blinds are used and do a pretty good job of blocking any ambient light. Finally, the carpet is a mixed grey/dark grey. Overall this actually improved the picture via front projection onto a 84" diagonal screen.
Now there is very little light reflecting onto the screen and the pixels are less noticeable than before the paint job. Overall, I am extremely pleased with the results. Oh, and by the way, the room looks good in the daylight too, at least according to a couple of female friends... Best of luck to ya !
