When
you have a favorite picture to frame, what is the first thing you look
at? The colors in the picture? The color of a wall where you are
planning to display the picture? How about the style of the frame --
wood frame? metal frame?
One
of the customers wanted to buy a framed picture panel in Kerrville, TX
that was displayed in my booth. The frame I made was not colored and
applied with multiple layers of top coat..
But
she told me the color of the frame might not match with the color of
the wall she is planning to display the picture on. I make my floater
frame in a way that the picture panel is detachable from the frame and
easily displayed in a different colored frame, so I showed the picture
in a medium-brown colored frame that she chose.
At
the end, she bought the picture with the original frame, not the medium
brown one, despite the fact that her wall color might not match with
the frame color.
Balancing
among the colors of the image, the color of the frame, and the color of
the wall to display is a very tricky task. Whenever I showcase my
pictures at art shows, I try my best to balance the color of the image
and the color of the frame.
For example, for the image below --

| Autumn leaves decorated the Gapstow Bridge in Central Park, New York. The soft light from the thick clouds was falling on the leaves, making the bridge look almost glowing. |
I chose the frame color that is close to the color of the subject in the picture.
What do you think? What other colors would match with this picture?
