Color of studio walls?

[Ron_Beezley]

Mine are a light beige and they seem to do the job well. Plus the beige is soft on the eyes and pleasant to the customer.

Black. More controll of any stray light.

I'd kill myself if I had to work in a black studio, so I painted the walls white and use sheets of black/white foamcore and black velvet when I need a less reflective space.

Medium gray. I couldn't do black as it would be far to depressing. White would be my first choice, but when I moved into my space, they were already medium gray. So I left them and I like it. Easy to make them dark by controlling the stray light, yet still a nice place to work in.

A quick easy solution if you don't want to paint your walls black is to put up some black out cloth blinds around the room. That way if you're spending a lot of non shooting time in the studio, you don't feel like you're living in a cave.

Well I'm renting a room and it's got eggshell walls and red carpet. I'm always reaching for the white balance to remove magenta casts. Sigh. I'm not in a position to choose but I'd prefer it darker (and with wood floors) but I've no choice currently...
Black cloth sounds like a good way to go though. I assume it would need to be fireproofed though in commercial buildings for insurance though.
