A friend gave me her old Pro-Panels minus the outside covers which means I will have to recover them myself. I know this won't be an easy fete, but one I can afford. What color do you all think I should use for my walls. I am a woman who makes glass jewelry. My hanging frames are either Fern green or black.
My husband thinks I should use light gray and I think a cream or oatmeal color.
I looked up some sites about how certain colors repel or attract certain customers. It says that blue, purple, and green attract women and that women hate gray, brown and orange.
In a workshop I had with Bruce Baker, he said to avoid orange or purple altogether because people either love or hate these colors.
What do you think?
Thank you in advance

Thanks again!
I think that fern green on wheat color would look great.
I'll be hanging my fern green boards on top of the Pro Panel carpet. do yo think that would make a difference? Still think the wheat would be better?
Thanks again
I agree about grey being dark. I also make jewelry and I appreciate every bit of light in the booth, so I guess I'd vote for the wheat color.
I do not use pro panels since they are not appropriate for displaying my work.
I have never liked black or even dark grey pro panels or walls when I look at them because they are dark and depressing and lack the warmth of color I personally like the look of walls with a bit of color in them
I recently had some vinyl banner wall panels made that have a gradient background going from a faded light red to a white. They attach between my upper and lower sta-bars. However, they are not something that I can hang work from as someone would do with carpeted pro panels.
I have decided that my jewelry is modern and colorful, so I am going to go with a modern and colorful display.
Thanks, and I will be in touch with you eventually!
Attend an open jury (or mock jury) and see how your images project. And how your competitor's images project. Best advice I can offer. I try and attend at least one each year to see how the images I prepare look when projected.

That's what I've always thought. I find all this conflicting information so confusing.
One juror told me to use a model and another told me to not do that. One said she loved my work but wanted glass cases--and as I said before, another said to use a white instead of gradient gray for images. I feel like a spinning top.
