What color should I paint my popcorn ceiling considering low light reflection from the LCD tv

Question

I am painting my popcorn ceiling in my bedroom and would like an idea of which color is best to use. currently the white ceiling reflects the LCD /plasma tv. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

That's a difficult a question to answer based on the information you have provided. Going on what has been given so far, I would have to say the obvious choice is black. This can however, provide you with some additional problems. If you're a single dude that has full rule over his castle, then you're all good. If there is a woman residing in that room, then you will get vetoed and have absolutely no chance of winning this argument no matter good your groveling skills are. In the end, darker would be better. Perhaps a dark blue would save a fight that you have no chance of winning.  

Answer 2

play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find colors that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the "painted" rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

I think a dark neutral like "otter" in a flat sheen would look great + it should coordinate with whatever colors you already have in your room.

Answer 3

Do you now have a "ceiling" paint?  if there is wall paint on the ceiling it will reflect much more light than a ceiling paint.  When painting a coarse popcorn ceiling it is hard to change the color, because of the texture.  I would go to the local benjamin moore store and see if the have a interior designer to help you to pick a color.
