I use a black frame constructed out of black crushed cotton velour wrapped around base board trim. It kills the overspill of light.

Interesting question. It would probably best be asked in the DIY screen forum though.

The velvet frame will do two things.

1. Absorb the overspill.
2. Trick the eyes into seeing the blacks as more black.

The dark chocolate brown would do 1 but it might not do 2.
