<p>[QUOTE="Denis Richard, post: 25982399, member: 112673"]I just stumbled across this thread, and it was an interesting read. I think the background should complement the coin, which will change with every coin, but if you want consistency in your presentation, grey is the colour of choice. Grey is often described as the colour of invisible. It's ambiguous and impartial and can be easily overlooked. It’s calm and dispassionate and doesn't influence the colours around it, but too much, particularly if it’s a dark gray–can be depressing. Gray is the perfect neutral, as it can moderate brighter hues and pull out colours.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some examples of my images of various coin colours and their representation on a medium/light grey background.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1652819[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1652820[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1652821[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1652822[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1652823[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1652824[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1652825[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1652826[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1652827[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1652828[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

Here are some examples of my images of various coin colours and their representation on a medium/light grey background.
