Deticated home theatre paint. Should the ceiling be the same color as the walls or darker then the walls.?

I am in th process of choosing paint for my deticated home theatre. I am going to use a really dark nuetral brown or maybe even a charchol color for the walls. Should I paint the ceiling the same color or should I paint it darker, maybe even black? I want to make sure that the wall and ceiling color do not reflect back on the screen during bright scenes. Any thoughts?Deticated home theatre paint. Should the ceiling be the same color as the walls or darker then the walls.?
Just as long as you use a flat (non-reflective) paint in a relatively dark color, it doesn't really matter. It's more of a style thing.Deticated home theatre paint. Should the ceiling be the same color as the walls or darker then the walls.?
If black is an option I would definitely go that route. As Jeff mentioned, be sure to use a flat or non reflective paint so that you won't see a reflection of the screens image in your ceiling. That effect can be stunning as the lack of a reference point for a ceiling can really seem spacious when the lights go out. All part of the ';suspension of disbelief'; that you are trying to create when designing a theater.
