CHOOSING YOUR COLORS
Please refer to our color charts when selecting your mat board colors. If the exact shade you’re looking for isn’t listed, message us with a description, item number, or color swatch. We’ll do our best to find the perfect match.
When choosing a double mat, it’s common to select a neutral highlight or mid-tone color from your artwork for the top mat, paired with a neutral mid-tone or shadow color for the bottom mat. Typically, customers opt for a lighter top mat and a darker bottom mat, as this creates a classic look with more contrasting colors.
However, there are exceptions to this approach. For example, music posters or other vibrant pieces with bold colors often look stunning with a darker top mat (like black or navy) paired with a brighter accent tone underneath.
Ultimately, your selection should reflect your personal preferences, the style and colors of the artwork, and the environment where the finished piece will be displayed.
If you’re unsure or need assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re happy to help you make the perfect selection!
Note: Colors may vary slightly due to differences in screen displays.
