For using a front projector, which is the only way to go, you do want a darker environment. I'm painting my back wall with Dutch Boy "Black Leather" paint, and the side walls and ceiling are going to be a darker blue color. Darker colors will help improve your perceived contrast on front projection. If you getting a plasma, DLP, or other large tv's, they should have good contrast ratings, but darker walls won't hurt.
