Background color for easy removal


I photograph clothing for a catalog and website. Most of the clothing involves light blue, navy and/ or white. What background color do you recommend using for easy removal in Photoshop? and to have the most consistent exposure?

I am using two 500 watt 3200 kelvin photofloods with reflectors for the lighting. I have just upgraded to a Canon 10D.

  try finding what hollywood uses, that bright lime green. anything contrasting will be easier for the magic wand tool to select, if that's what you use.
Make adjustments to the tolerance level if you don't get clean selection at first.
