Default Portrait colors

I like the T206 portrait colors that less common or unique.

My favorite portraits are the ones with the mint green background becuase there are only a few - particularly Walsh, usually Cassidy and sometimes Moran depending on the printing. The contrast of Walsh's dark uniform and dark hair against the mint green background is awsome. The vast majority of the other White Sox portraits that have yellow or orange backgrounds (with the exception of Dougherty) just don't look as good (IMHO).

I also like the light taupe (?) color of the Rucker portrait. Not much of a color per se, but it stands out from the group becuase it's the only one with that color.

The Willis portrait cards are cool when the background is more of a purplish wine color like Clayton "teetwoohsix"'s shown below (thanks, Clayton). Most of them are dark red.

As far as the on-field poses go, I really like the sky in the Spike Shannon card. Tons of colors in there (mint, pink, light orange) that you don't notice unless you stop to look close.

Thanks to t206resource.com for the images of Walsh and Rucker.

Steve
