Black and White mounts
 

Any sugestions for the best color mat for mounting black and white photos.

I use textured old english white

Thanks for that, i'll give it a try.

Just my opinion but in B&W for individual images (competitions) I usually pick the mount to compliment the tonal range of the image and how I want it too appear to the viewer.

A black mount will emphasis lighter tones of a image while a white mount will emphasis the darker tones..try a black and a white mount on the same image and see the difference it makes to the perceived tonal range:)

For a set of images for wall display then you have no choice but to use the same coloured mount.

Thanks Craftysnapper,
I'm already in the process of comparing prints with black or white mounts.

just try textured old english white.
