So is there a recommended color for each music type? Blue for Jazz, yellow for Pop, red for Rock, green for World, black for Heavy Metal?

I'm gonna say it - room treatment is kinda overrated. Sure, it can make a good system sound bad, but it cannot save a bad system. That initial sound wave to reach your ear is what really counts. If that sounds off, no amount of wall, floor or ceiling treatment can correct that.

True.  My setup would not pass muster for most here but it sounds great.
