Colour field backgrounds

20 original designs, 2 free — click any one to put your own photo on it.

Colour field backgrounds are photographic abstraction: colour blurred so far out of focus that no subject remains, only the wash. Because there is no detail to compete with, they behave like a gradient but feel like a photograph, and they are the safest possible backdrop for text.
