I have been working on finishing half of our basement (the part that will be home to my theater area), and I am getting very close to being ready for paint. Yes, paint, no wall treatments... This is going to be a "shared" area in our basement and not dedicated to movies.

Anyway, our upstairs has trim that is "chestnut" colored oak, which is a very slightly red tinted oak color (not cherry color).

We thought about carrying that color through the basement, but maybe not.

My new speakers (M60s, VP150, QS8s) are Cherry colored, and the SVS sub is black. We want something that will be a nice color for every day use, looking good with the cherry speakers, and still be good for light control (not white).

I hope that this makes sense, but I have seen very few pictures of non-dedicated theaters, and even fewer with cherry colored speakers...

Thanks!
