A couple of points. NO decent movie theatre is painted all dead (flat) black. Why should you do this to your home? Aside from the very good points about black showing flaws and being a depressing place to view a movie, you would be better off to check around in theatres to see what they do. The viewing room should invite you in, so do some research on setup.

You missed my point! I only said that it was technically the best colour, which was what the questioner asked, I didn't say I would recommend it! If you read my post again carefully I did quite clearly state that most movie theatres go for a subdued colour. If you want the best colour rendition and to minimze reflections, technically, black it has to be.

I agree that painting the *entire* room black wouldn't be too cool. However, painting the ceiling a flat black is good because most front projectors mount very close to the ceiling and black reflects very little, thus a better picture.
