I like the idea of different color in HT room. Espcially, the wall behind tv and a/v system is in different color than the side/back wall. THis creates a 3D effect.
Also, i would like to use color that when not watching movie, i can relax and reading or working on my laptop comfortably...Ah..i've gotta go to bookstore...:)

They say red is not a relaxing color. Maybe green, brown or blue?

Anything to keep the reflection effect down. I have a olive color. If you're going with a FP, the paint you choose to create the screen is the real decision. I went through a grueling 2 months of painting and re-painting and testing -- I started feeling OCD with the paint roller. Anyway, I learned alot about the appropriate paint to use for your screen as well as how to wet sand paint from drywall... how to get that smooth as a baby's @ss effect before priming. My wife thought I was nutso, and she's probably right. But, my patience paid off, I now have a huge screen that only cost me the paint, and my time. Plus, the size I wanted wasn't readily available from the typical screen vendors.

We went with a flat finish in a rich amber color for the walls and could not be more pleased with the results. The screen wall and ceiling above the screen is flat black. Eventually we will have black and cranberry colored velvet drapes on the screen wall and side walls of the stage area.

That's awesome. I'm feeling twinges of envy. 
What's the sub? How much noise does the AC make? Does it need to vent to the outside?
