As mentioned in an earlier blog - the use of colour in the £10 note painting. many years ago I attended an exhibition of Frank Auerbach somewhere in Cork Street around 1983-4 (not to sure where and when and searches have come up blank)
what he had instructed the gallery owners to paint the walls a blue grey colour (I've tried to get as close as I can) and then, the most suprising element - about 12" from the floor, painted around the whole gallery was an orange line - no wider than 1cm - it looked fantastic, the contrast with the backdrop, which didnt detract from the work itself. funny how things stay lodged in the depths of your mind!
