Your Preferred frame color for B&W

[Vaughn]

I'll have to take a look at silver...hadn't considered it before.

It can look very clean and miminalist -- enough to seperate the print from the wall, but not be in-your-face like black. Also depends on the wall paint color and surroundings.

I did a series in white frames recently - looked good.

Have you considered contrast gray? It looks terrific with white board matted prints.

I like a neutral gray -- pewter finish works very well, especially the gradated "antique" look where indents are darker than protruding surface areas. A cove molding type shape gives a nice series of light-dark gradations that will pick up almost any tone in the image. Within the frame, I like a neutral matt with a value chosen to complement the image -- if the image is overall dark, a darker matt makes the low-value detail easier to see, while a lighter image will be less "dazzling" in a lighter matt.

I should also point out that I strongly prefer neutral to cool tones in the print itself, unless the subject matter really cries out for warm or sepia (which would require an entirely different matt and frame color).
