10' high ins't that high when you have a projector hanging down...you'll be down near 8.5 feet at that point.
Most projectors are rated at 100" (diagonal) screen at 10-13 foot distance. Also, the further from the screen the less light gets to the screen.
for movies/photos a 'silver screen' (grey) is preferred.
For text and such white is a better choice.

So I'm hoping I can piggyback on this post with a scenario. My church has charged me with finding a video projection system for their parish hall. They have asked me to find a ceiling mount projector and screen system. The hall can go completely dark and has 10' ceilings. The hall is rectangular in shape and we are picturing the screen going against one of the long walls.
I'm proposing one of the electric screens that when not in use hides flush up in the drop ceiling. Does anyone have any expertise on screen choice as far as size, etc? I didn't realize that screen color (grey/white) was something to consider as well.
So far I am proposing the Optoma EH512 as a projector. It has a 16:9 aspect ratio, 5k lumens, and 15,000:1 contrast ratio. It is a DLP projector. The room is approximately 50'x80'.
