Choose the Right Colour for Your Workflow
High-Key White is the most popular choice for clean, modern portraits, ecommerce, and video. It reflects light well, making it easy to achieve bright, even backgrounds or high-key looks with minimal effort.
Neutral Grey offers excellent flexibility and control. It can be lit to appear light or dark, making it ideal for portraits, interviews, and corporate work where subtle background variation is useful.
Rich Black is perfect for low-key portraits, dramatic lighting, and situations where you want the background to fall away completely for a more cinematic feel.
Chroma-Key Green is designed for compositing and background replacement. The smooth, even colour makes it easy to light with minimal spill, helping streamline post-production for video and stills.
Easy Setup in Any Location
Each backdrop includes five metal grommets and a pole pocket, allowing it to be mounted quickly on an X-Drop or X-Drop Pro Stand, or hung using wall hooks. The fabric stretches neatly for a taut, professional finish, without the tearing, creasing, or bulk associated with paper backdrops.
Lighting Control and Creative Flexibility
The solid colour backdrops are easy to light and can be gelled to create different looks from a single background. By adjusting the distance between your subject, backdrop, and light source, you can fine-tune tone, contrast, or add subtle vignettes using a backlight.
Easy Green Screen Removal with CloudKO Lite
The Chroma-Key Green version includes 25 free green screen extractions using CloudKO Lite by 36Pix, available as a web-based tool or Adobe Photoshop plugin. The software automatically masks subjects, corrects colour spill, and removes shadows while preserving fine detail for natural-looking composites.
