Is it better to leave the photos of the old man in color or black and white?

Generally, the photos left for the elderly are personal photos with good mental state before their death.

There are several occasions to take photos: first, at the farewell ceremony of the remains, second, on the tombstone of the elderly, and third, at home, daily family members hang photos to remember their loved ones. The photos used in these three occasions can be the same photo or different.

In the farewell ceremony of the remains, black and white photos are usually used instead of color photos to show solemnity and respect for the deceased.

Photos left on tombstones are usually burned on ceramic pieces. Black-and-white photos are the most commonly used, and they are also the easiest to catch fire. There are also color photos, which are relatively few and the price may be relatively high. If it is a color photo, a white background is often used.

Photos of relatives left at home every day are often black and white. If it's in color, it's usually a photo of the old man in a good mental state during his lifetime, regardless of the background color, or it can be a photo with his family and friends; Or the white background is used too much, and photos of other colors (such as red and blue) look like enlarged photos.
