Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jul 11, 2009 6:36 pm Have a friend who is eagerly awaiting her husband to give her the go ahead in choosing a colour for their home theatre room, so we went around yesterday to some of M's display homes to get some inspiration. Some of the colours were absolutely gorgeous but in the end, we were left more confused as we knew we liked colours but we had no ides what they were So Im wondering, would you mind posting what colour you have chosen and a picture of the colour?

You really need to go quite dark if you have a projector as it cuts down on reflected light and does wonders for the contrast and overall PQ. If it's a dedicated theatre room then go as dark as possible including ceiling and window coverings. Re: What colour is your home theatre room? 8Jul 12, 2009 2:33 pm Thanks everyone! gweluphome, I love yours! It looks very different with having the darker ceiling cray, thanks for the advice! I now that she is planing on keeping it a dedicated home theatre but I dont think they have decided yet on whether to go with a projector or an lcd... If they paint it dark and then go with a LCD, is it not ideal? Custom European Cabinets - Melbourne Kitchen Specialist PM for business details as website currently being updated!

We are not having a theatre room, would rather have a pool and be outside! JL Thanks JL, have been trying to get in here all day to post my pics! The colour is Solver Southern Vales. It is a very dark purple. It has been very hard to capture the true colour in photographs. It is more vibrant in real life but still really dark.

I think we may have achieved this, Matt, we just won't be able to find the furniture without the lights on! Re: What colour is your home theatre room? 12Jul 12, 2009 7:28 pm 25 years in the planning.
