It's really quite black though.

Was very effective, as it wasn't simply black, but had night time sort of look to it. If you really want a home theatre, you've got to have a dark ceiling if not black, otherwise you just have a media room. Wall colour was Lady in Red, another Dulux colour, although if I was given an ultimatum of dark ceiling or red walls, I'd take the dark ceiling. Owner Building at Jimboomba Woods in Logan City Qld.

I painted a patch on the wall behind where the screen will sit - I like it, comes up lighter on the wall than on the cardboard, mind you is only one coat but it really is a charcoal grey. We have a dedicated room with screen (looks the same as yours bluesuede), projector, ceiling and wall speakers, but we are not going full tilt on the home theatre as far as curtains, fabric etc - it's just not big enough of a room for that, I think we will be in between media room and home theatre. Anyway, I think I will paint with Namadji and see how it goes - I'll post once complete, which hopefully will be in a few weeks... Now my concern is that we are going to paint the walls dark, the speakers are white and will stand out thanks so much again!

You can often paint them the same colour as the wall/ceiling that you have them fitted in to. The metal mesh in from of the speaker can be spray painted quite successfully.

Re: Dark Paint assistance - What colour's your Home theatre? 18Jan 20, 2014 7:29 am We are also in the process of choosing our cinema room colours. Our carpet is also dark with the skirtings and arc's in Dulux Lexicon quarter. I am thinking of Dulux Malay Grey, with the colour also on the roof. It is a warmer grey, as we are going for dark chocolate cinema seats. I like the idea of the movie pic's around the room also! http://chasingcoconut.blogspot.com.au/ Re: Dark Paint assistance - What colour's your Home theatre? 19Jan 26, 2014 10:32 am bpratt Lilac Now my concern is that we are going to paint the walls dark, the speakers are white and will stand out Are they the standard in-wall speakers that are easily available ? You can often paint them the same colour as the wall/ceiling that you have them fitted in to. The metal mesh in from of the speaker can be spray painted quite successfully. Thankyou!! I was wondering about that but thought it may clog the holes... I looked up our speakers (Jamo 6.5cs) and it specifically says white covers (Paintable) to blend in with your chosen colours for seamless installation - Yay! You have to use a spray gun and then when still wet blow the outside to push the paint through the holes (hair dryer??). So I am going to get someone in to do the painting otherwise I will never get around to it and they will have the right equipment. Our speakers are all ceiling mount, but due to the very bad positioning of our beams in the roof, our installer couldn't get the centre speaker in - it would be very off-centre and look weird. so we have two at the back of the room, and the 3 at the front of the room are being positioned with one in the centre of the bulkhead pointing down in the bulkhead above the screen (hope that doesn't effect the sound quality), and then moving the 2 remaining ones on to the face of the bulkhead each side of the screen so to face you - will that still work - are ceiling speakers only for the ceiling?? If you look at the first picture I posted that faces the bulkhead you may get what I mean.

Personally I would not used ceiling speakers in a HT room, especially with going to the trouble of having a nice screen etc. If the installer puts the speakers as suggested, think about how it will sound when audio pans from one side of the screen to the other, like a car for example. It will come out into the room on the left, then move up into your bulkhead pointing down into the floor, then back up the the right channel pointing at you again. While still not optimal, I would rather have the speaker above or below the screen. You wanted it tilted towards your seating position if possible, but with in-ceiling/in-wall you can't do this. Is this installer a HT installer? Or a sparky? I'd be a bit concerned if it was a HT installer suggesting these placements. If you have already purchased those speakers then I would be looking to put them all facing into the room on that bulkhead, just remember the sound may sound like it's shooting above your head (which in my opinion is better than shooting straight into the floor in front of your screen). It's certainly not optimal, but with those speakers and the layout that's all I can think of for now.
