I’m having a recess built into the wall to place a 75” tv in. It will be about 6“ deep. The room walls will be painted a dark color (undecided yet), question is should the recess that the tv is going in be the same dark color or something different? Also what thoughts on colored celling?

When I painted my dedicated home theater in my old house, I used all dark colors and flat gloss (which I don't recommend - it scuffs like crazy). My wall were a deep red and deep blue, my screen wall and ceiling were a very dark gray (almost black). I also installed extra lighting to compensate for the dark colors. People often mistakenly think theater don't need much lighting, it is actually they need good light control. All my lights were on dimmers and zones.
