If you want to reflect the most light it has to be light. The darker the less light gets reflected.

To take it to the next level you could use an optical coating. like a pearlescent topcoat. This is why most professionally manufactured screens deliver a better image than just a painted wall. They've already made the mistakes and have developed coatings that work good. That's why they are pros. The optical coating takes it to the next level in brightness.
