Well Michael, "neutral" can mean a couple of things:
1. 18% gray
2. a detailess background with no distracting detail or highlights to take attention away from the main subject.Hope this helps!

Michael,
is it a nuetral background you're after or an all purpose, multi-use, sort of classic, timeless background? If I had to choose just one backdrop, I would pick a mottled canvas, medium tone so I could go lighter or darker by varying the power of the light, in warm colors like taupe, terra cotta, and gold, with a fairly soft (well-blended) paint application so there aren't any hard, discrete areas of color or tone to draw attention away from the subject.
