Some people paint the inside of the mask black because of accuracy that\'s correct. There are only a few masks in the films that were not painted black on the inside (part 6 was more of a gray for example). Another reason is that it makes the mask as a whole look thinner, because you can see the black through the holes (you get the same effect by just painting the ventholes black on the inside). The first Hockeymask that I bought was not painted black on the inside or had any of the ventholes painted black and it was ultra thick. As soon as I painted the inside of the ventholes black it looked like a completely different mask and as a matter of fact appeared to be thinner. Just my two cents.
