Depends on the chip and what mood I am/was in. I', sure I scanned some chips with a red background, just because it seemed like a fun idea at the time Smile

I usually just scan them and dont worry about the backround, but since i usually dont have a bunch of lights blaring towards the scanner they usually come out with a black backround.

Hehe Smile
When I started to scan my chips I decide to use:

green background for common chips
yellow for uncommon
red for rare ones

I considered it's good idea for my website perspicuity.
But latter I forgot about it. It's not so easy to resort exactly... and to make scans at all. Smile

Now I think over the background sometimes for better contrast using Johnorun's rule.
