What color backdrop? I live in a retirement community and take photos of seniors in their homes to send to their families, etc. I use a digital Canon Rrbrl xl 350 with flash to keep things simple and quick. What color back drop will provide the best back drop without shadows etc.

I wouldn't worry so much about the backdrop as I would with putting distance between the subject and the backdrop, this will help with shadows or try natural lighting from a window that comes from the side and position the backdrop so it doesn't have shadows falling on it.

I guess I'm missing something. If you're going to your subjects' homes, why are you using a backdrop at all? You should be shooting what might be called "environmental" pictures, those that show your subjects as they are living/working. If they were to come to your home or a clubhouse [if your community has one,] then use a backdrop. You should consider light blue or gray if your shooting B&W. Almost any color muslin will probably be OK so long as you specify to your subjects what color clothes they wear and these do not clash with the backdrop. Generally, in that regard, you can't go wrong if you ask a subject to wear a dark shirt or blouse or, if the male subject wants the protrait, heshould wear a dark suit and white/light blue shirt with a tie.
