deepsea 0 Posted May 1, 2009 I alway think black and white look nice against a pastel colour, blue is always a good choice or a pale cream........ do people come in your office? or is it just for you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
okuma 64 Posted May 1, 2009 We have just reframed our gallery wall. Perviously all photos were custom matted to the 3rd most predominate color in the image. With the acquisition of a new wide printer, we're going with quick change out frames and a common matt color. We finally decided on a dark grey-charcoal as the most pleasing for both W/A and macro shots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's for me, but people are often in my office, both staff and patients. I'm leaning towards a tan/beige color Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
