Did you know that Lightroom has 6 different background color options? That’s right! As an editor we have 6 colors to choose from when deciding what color background we want to edit on. There is Black, Darker Gray, Dark Grey, Medium Grey, Light Grey, and White. Here are a few of the options below.

Is one color better than another when editing? With the majority of the choices being grey, should you just pick a grey one you like? After all, it’s just personal preference. Or is it?
