Restrained tones
Velvety green, muted red, a sky in mother-of-pearl: classical color photography relies on bearing rather than volume. Classical color photographs on paper are for sale for anyone who wants the color to carry the picture but never take it over.

In conversation with the furniture
A classical color picture suits wood, leather and linen. Hang it above a dresser or between bookshelves, not next to a very bright textile. A mat in cream calms the color further.
Deciding safely
Ask about the paper type, the process and whether the print is lightfast. Edition, signature and number matter if you later want to pass on or lend the sheet. Note the dimensions of image and margin.
