What type of Palette board to use?




Hi all,

I am curious to find out if a glass palette with white paper underneath is the way to go, or should I place a grey paper underneath and to what value would the grey be around value '8', or should I use a light or dark wooden brown palette to place pigments on? I realise everyone has their own version, but as a beginner to see colours cleanly which would be best to use.

I have noticed when I do a search on palettes, most photos are taken using grey painted something, is this grey something just years of wiping off that maybe started out as a white plastic? Can anyone make a suggestion as to the best reference to use to be able to see the clarity of pigment colours cleanly with?
