    New Home Cinema - Correct Wall Paint ?

    All paint will still reflect light, you cant avoid it. Even the so called darkest of paints will not prevent reflection. It will reduce to a certain extent, however the only way to avoid it is to use a velvet "light" absorbent material. Which im sure will not fly with the wife.
