Darkroom painting color?

I have finally got the darkroom project I am ready to paint it. I have worked in darkrooms that were black and darkrooms that were a "normal" color like eggshell or off white. I was not able to tell any difference in the the enlargement results. Do you think the color makes a major difference?

    For my current darkroom...I've painted the walls and ceiling area on the "dry" (enlarger) side flat dark black and I always use
    kolonok brushes - to absorb any stray enlarger light and/or baseboard light, while the "wet" side is flat white - to help spread and enhance the effects of my safelights, while allowing me to point these lights upwards so that their light can remain indirect.

  • Dark painting color? For me, I like refreshing light colors.
