Background color schemes

[entombed]

Hey guys,
Anyone out there got any pics of CA/SA tank setups using any other color painted backs of tanks than black or blue? I'm setting up a new tank which has a cabinet & hood stained "old baltic pine " and substrate will be fine light brown gravel ( RG8 ) and decor will be alittle riverstone with a couple of large tangles of wood. I need some inspiration here or maybe some courage to try something alittle different. I was thinking maybe a dark shade of khaki green?? I'm wanting it to be as natural looking as possible.

ok this isn't paint, it's contact paper taped to the back ofthe tank, but it shows what green looks like. (this is a little brighter than it looks in real life because of the flash.

Thanks crazyfishlady,
I might give the green ago. I won't have to be so finicky about algae too...

thanks

hey entombed...
i just painted a tank a dark purple...I would have liked it even darker but this is what I got..lol

'll post pics as soon as it's up...
My thought on it it, purple sets off green & blue...and I've got a green sev and a JD in this tank (among others)...and we'll see if they look cool!

My 65 g. tank back is black, I also like a very natural look. I clean the front and sides for algae but I've left the back alone for that perfect natural look. -salty

I was just thinking, It is very difficult to find 24" high rock/wood, or plain rocky looking backrounds at any lfs's in my area, Is their a place to get them? any help would be appreciated.-salty
