I'm planning on painting the front projection HT, a flat black on the screen wall and ceiling, and a burgandy on the side walls. Will this look OK. I want it dark to absorb light. Was trying to find pics of a thater with this color scheme, but so far unsuccessful. Thanks.
Sam, I have a black front wall and deep red/blue side and rear walls...and it works great. You can see pics at my site below! So I think you're burgandy will work great.
I have black and burgandy side walls along with the front wall. I wanted my screen wall to be all black but the fabric supplier got my order backwards. When I ordered my fabric I made exact measurements for each colour and ordered 5 more yards of black verses burgandy. Of course I completed my screen wall last only to find out that I had just enough to do the upper part black, but had enough burgandy to do the lower. Since I'm on a tight schedule I decided to go with the burgandy and if I didn't like it, order some more black later on. I haven't hung the screen or projector to see how it affects performance (i.e. if it's distracting to the eye) but it does look pretty good on its own.

I just put my trim up last night on half of the walls. Due to time constraints I will not have a chance to paint it so I'm keeping it white (primed) until after the holidays. I was suprised how good it looked with the burgandy to black transitions. It shouldn't reflect too much light back at the screen so I may end up keeping it that way. I'll have a better idea tonight as I will be building my screen and mounting my projector. :-D

I have burgundy on the bottom half and dark,dark grey (cannon grey to be exact) on the top half of the walls and ceiling. It looks fantastic. Go for it!
So I think you're burgandy will work great.
