When you live your life on Twitter and Facebook, and are only friends with like minded people on Twitter and Facebook, you are not living in the real world. You are living in a narcissistic echo chamber.

If your wall is coloured at all it will screw the image colour balance. If you are to use paint on a wall use Dulux white(FLAT), this I have measured with my radiospectrometer and has a pretty flat spectra. ie shouldnt alter the colour balance too much.
If you want slight deeper blacks(at the cost of some lumens) use a grey shade, Dulux Thomas Tallas 474. This has a slight blue push but is linear in the slope and can be calibrated out.
Fixed screens are better than pulldown screens in the absolute image result due to the wavy nature of pulldowns and motorised screens. Over time they all start getting a little wavy, some have side tensioning which addresses most of it.
The downside of a fixed screen is the large landscape they take up. Here sign the bottom corner and call it, "Man in a white out!" Art 
, a matter of taste
Setup for position. Ceiling mounting is better most of the time as you don't nudge ,bump and move the PJ all the time. You could also fix it to a shelf or cabinent cavity. Ventilation is critical though, don't overheat the PJ, protect that bulb, don't turn it off and on regularly or you will shortern the bulbs life. Get a spare bulb if you dont have one.
Position 2, read the manual for best practice, positioning of the PJ. This is more critical than you think dispite the very good lens shift in the AX series. The less you use the better the final image. Start with optimum position, then if not environmentally friendly(WAF) slowly comprimise position until the environmental (WAF) is green.
On no account use KEYSTONE CORRECTION, unless you want to kiss goodbye all that lovely resolution.
Projection is about lightcontrol, ie dark rooms, don't expect or try to view in brighter/daytime viewing.
The environment walls idealy want to be neutral and darker shading to lower ambient reflections from the screen, keep this in mind if you are painting the walls. Blackout curtains are a must for windows.
Get plenty of material, movies, rented or otherwise now you are joining the PJ people.....my parnter and I are addicted and can watch 2~3 movies in a session
