What color are your backstage areas painted?

Re: stage back wall color

Black with flat clear coat, red in areas offstage that have to be kept clear like under fire extinguishers and in front of the fly rail. Walls are black all conduit is painted black no signage in potentially visible areas other than required by code. I am a big fan of glow in the dark signs like fire extinguisher signs onstage code does not always require them to be lit like exit signs but its still nice to be able to see them even on a completely dark stage. Our cyc wall is white no gloss. I have seen lighting designers not like a clear coat on a floor no gloss just because of the little bit of reflective property it has but hey what are you gonna do.

Re: stage back wall color

Some of the major venues in town have royal blue, orient red, pink and brown. I myself prefer good old black, or at very least dark gray.
