I know that conventional art is usually placed against a white background, but light is everything with computer graphics. I have been trying out many different backgrounds for display, and I am finding that the darker backgrounds (not necessarily black) tend to make my fractals seem more vibrant and colorful, whereas the lighter backgrounds tend to make them seem washed out and, curiously, smaller. I would have preferred that they had chosen to use the neutral grays, with perhaps charcoal as gallery backgrounds, instead of the browns. I think that would have been more elegant and professional. I have nothing against earth tones, but they do sometimes clash with other colors. Tres
Fractals will always amaze me!
