I painted my ceilings and wall in stead of having a blown (popcorn)ceiling I finished it smooth. THe walls are dark blue and carpet is a blue also and seating is black the baseboard is trimmed in white. It works for me and the dark walls reflect no light so i love it. Check out my gallery.

Darker is better.
Gloss = Bad
Semi-Gloss = Bad
Eggshell or Satin = Okay
Flat = Best, but harder to clean

My colors:
Ceiling-Dark Grey Accoustic Foam
Upper half of walls - A dark magenta, satin
Divider between upper and lower half of walls - Purple accoustic foam
Lower half of walls - Dark "plum", satin
Trim - "Midnight purple" one shade away from black
Carpet - Commercial black carpet with little neon geometric shapes and squigles in it.

A designer would tell you that you should probably consider the room as a whole before selecting any colors.

Flat latex is a given but you really need a handle on your furniture selectionfabric, curtain colors, and what your speaker cabinets do to compliment or detract from these.

If you have a significant other, this can get even more complicated because most women would not understand your need to paint the walls black or other variations of dark tones.

I would use the furniture as a guide to color selection for the rest of the applications of your room. That includes the speakers.
