My back is painted black, however inside of the glass is pink on left and rigt and deep purple in the middle. So it doesn't matter what the outside is.

In wall tank with a dark blue/gray background attached about 7 inches from the back glass. This gives an impression of depth.

On a deep tank, a properly built foam background is stunning. It takes a lot to make it really work though. I paint mine black.

Blue the only way to go. It looks more natural especially if you have the right blue color. Have a great day!
