Best color s to paint dedicated listening room

I am going to paint my 12' X 21' listening room. Would welcome specific colors or color combinations to use.
Only objects in the room are two dark brown leather Corbusier chairs and natural hard rock maple equipment stand.

Thanks for the help.

You paint it what ever color you like, because it's your world? Unless your wife plans on listening along with you, than compromise.

You need choose colors what you like, but my advice is use bright colors. Listening room need enrgize you and give good feelings. As for me, I really like some arts on whole room. Just abstract graphics, this can really make your room more unique, and I made it by myself. I've only had a guide, what I've seen on this site

GRAY is best.

Light brown corkboard on one wall and wood paneling (vertical) on three walls. The paneling is uneven and helps with sound absorbtion and reflections. It all was like this when I moved in. I also have vertical windows that tilt out. Very good light in the room.
