Mine is the same in the outside/open half. Works quite well

I once had a black shelf thinking it would be a good idea to start having everything black - bad idea, couldn't see anything on it even with lights!
If using a dark colour on the walls I would have the bottom 10cm or so a light colour and areas like around the door a similar border of lighter colour, just so you can move around the area without bumping things.
If you were to be doing mostly visual work I think I'd actually stick with a lighter colour like the gray of colourbond, as it only takes a small light to provide dim illumination to easily find your way around and know where eyepieces etc are. Having no ambient light at all can be frustrating I find.
