Tips for choosing Collage Frames
Mat color needs to be lighter than the print and the print darker than the wall.
If the wall is dark we could try the opposite.
The basic rule is that the color of mat differs from the color of the frame.
When we are confused with the choice of the mat choosing a solid white or solid black mat would prove to be successful. The choice of mat color is to enhance the image and not to add to or to overpower it.
Mat color guides the eyes to the image. It adds depth to or projects the image. Some frame colors make the choice of the mat color easy.
