The wall color will not affect calibration, but if you print and look at it in a colored room, you will have a different color temperature. Which means, a picture with an already warm tone will appear "overheated".
If you hang pictures on a colored wall which is not neutral white, grey or black, all pictures will "suffer" of the influence of the colored walls.
And if your brain already saw the picture on a green wall and tries to neutralize the wall color, it will appear with a green tint if you increase the color temperature of the ambient light to daylight and just go out of your orange room into daylight (evening or morning light will increase the effect). Your brain can adapt to "false" wall colors, especiayll if you're familiar with the subject of the picture. Then you know how it should look like and the impression adapts.
