Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Walls in a darkroom do not need to be painted black. They are typically painted a medium to dark matte color to reduce reflections, but black is not a requirement for the functionality of safelighting. Safelighting conditions focus more on the type of light filter used and the distance of the light from the work area to prevent photographic film or paper from being exposed.
