When choosing paint for your home theater, you should choose a flat finish paint that is good quality and from a reputable manufacturer. In case you did not know, paint is offered in several finishes ? flat, satin, semi-gloss, and gloss or high gloss. As you have probably determined, the finish is a direct correlation to the paint's reflectivity. Flat having little to no reflectivity and gloss having the most. Although flat finish paint does not hold up as well in somewhat harsh conditions, it is still best for home theaters due to its reflective properties.

You should never use semi-gloss or gloss paint on any surface in your home theater. These paints reflect light and that could cause a glare on the screen. "But I view my television with the lights out", you say. It does not matter. The light from the television will reflect off of the gloss walls and light up the room, lessening the ambiance.

Something like browns, tans, black, and darker shades of purple or orange will work nicely. Some people think that if they paint their walls these dark colors it is going to feel like they are watching a movie a cave. That is simply not the case. The new paint will make you feel more like you are truly in the movie theater. Using the right furniture, accents, and wall treatments will also make the room feel more like a home theater and less like a cave. If you are more into wallpaper than paint, you can choose this route, but you have to be very careful. Take home with you a rather large sample of the wallpaper and tack it to the wall. Turn off all the lights and shine a bright light on the wallpaper from every angle possible. If you seen any kind of light reflected in the wallpaper, keep looking for another style.

The darker and neutral colors are imperative to creating the right ambiance in your home theater. Although colors like red and blue are dark, they tend to reflect light as well. Make sure to keep your images pure onscreen by sticking with something neutral and dark, not just dark.
