The reason walls are textured is to cut down on the echoes in small rooms. That said if you must have flat walls and they are temporary then Masonite or panel boards will be far far easier than plywood and way cheaper. You can paint it whatever color you want and hang it on double stick tape just fine.

Actually, the reason they're textured at all is to hide flaws in taping and bedding the sheetrock. A perfectly smooth sheetrock finish requires more work and more skill and is costly. A heavy texture hides imperfections.

If you've ever recorded music, you'll know that heavy texture does little to reduce echoes. Yes, there's a little diffraction but it's not significant.
