No problem; this foam can very easily be painted using a device like a Wagner Power Painter (your carpenter probably has one) and normal interior latex house paint.

Start with a light-colored foam, then dust on just enough paint to arrive at a uniform application of the color you want; avoid overloading the foam with paint, as sealing it is undesirable for acoustics (becomes a diffuser).
The Foam Factory offers what they call "Cornice Boards" (which most people call "crown moldings") that fit at the intersection of the wall and ceiling, made from the same foam as their acoustic products; these cornice boards are intended to painted.
My point in mentioning them is to illustrate that this foam can be painted, but you might also consider using cornice boards for acoustic reasons, as they would serve as buffers in the corners, without looking like acoustic treatments. The part of their site that shows Cornice Boards is currently under construction, but they can do all sorts of shapes.
