Hey there! You should opt for darker colours for the walls behind the projector screen. When we installed our home theatre, we were initially confused about which colour to opt for the walls. Our painting contractor suggested the best wall color for projector, which included black, navy blue, grey, brown, etc. Let me share a few more options for you.

Which is the Best Paint for Projection Screen?
The professional told us it’s best to avoid lighter tones like whites, yellow, creams, etc. This will reflect the light from the screen and will be a bad experience.
You can choose any of the following colours.
Dark grey: This is the classic option that the painter suggested. It’s also very common and popular in home theatres.
Black: Black can never go wrong for the projector screen.
Navy blue: This is what we chose for our home projector and it really turned out well.
Dark brown: Brown also works fine if you want to give a unique look to the walls.
Dark emerald green: This is also something out of the ordinary that you can go for to create a bold look.
Maroon: If you want to create a traditional cinema look, shades of red will be the best paint for projector wall.
Green: A darker shade of green will be perfect to create a relaxing atmosphere. I was slightly confused between this and the navy blue, but I was scared this would be too bold, and we wanted to keep it subtle and natural.
That’s all the options we got. Let me know what you all think about it. I also hope this helps you select the best wall colour for projector.
