I've never embalmed anyone, so I can't comment on the last question.
On the first question I would investigate sponging or ragging. You did
say paint texture, not simply color, and that's the easiest texturing
to tweak.

OT: My first reaction ... dark at the top and light at the bottom? Now
that's just plain wrong :-)

Actually, I was gonna say that too.

The furniture in that room (club chairs, funky glass tables) are of a
darker shade. Thats why the the color of the wall has to be dark at the
top and gradually turning lighter at the bottom. This way the darker
color furniture will contrast well with the wall overall effect.

Cheers,

You might fill a paint sprayer reservoir with white paint and attach
a metering pump to slowly add brown to the reservoir as you paint up
from the bottom. I did something like this in strips with a roller,
and it looked pretty good.
