Interesting observation. Thanks Dennis.

>An example that is not explicitly relevant to matting B&W prints:
>
>A few years ago my wife and I picked up a print of a painting of a
>dark maroon gothic lighthouse sitting on a point jutting out into
>heavy seas against a yellow and orange sunset with the roiled clouds
>and lightning of an approaching storm.
>
>The studio displayed it with two different mats: a dark maroon mat
>that matched the darker portions of the lighthouse, and a dark green
>mat that complimented the dark aqua of the sea.
>
>The print with the maroon mat made the house seem a slightly
>disturbing, but welcoming, place to weather the storm.
>
>The print with the green mat made the house seem like the only place
>you could go to weather the storm, but it was creepy and you knew you
>were going to be spending a particularly bad night with Vincent Price
>in a B movie where all the doors creaked.
>
>The emotional difference the two mattings had on both of us was
>surprisingly strong and was the most extreme example of this effect
>that I have ever seen.
