What Color Backgrounds

[AzMandella]

If you were to have 5 backdrops what colors would you consider esential?

I will be buying Musilin. I have one seamless paper roll that is a marbled blue & white and a musilin studio grey. I wanted to get a few more and wondered which are the most widely used and versatile colors to start with.

Blueish tones
Orangeish tones
greenish tones

Depending on what you are photographing the basics are of course black, white and gray. Then possibly a brown or blue but what we have been using a lot of with Seniors is a multi colored abstract and a permanent background built in the studio of old barn boards. The barn board is so usable, with color and texture. If in USA check out http://www.coleandcompany.com/ There are some neat and affordable backgrounds there.

I Agree with BBulldog. def need white and black then just a case of picking some nice neutral tones in between
