Anyone make a rich Merlot/Burgundy backdrop??

I'm having a heck of a time trying to find a muslin type of backdrop in a deep rich burgudy or merlot color like this:

Does anyone here know of one in existence? Thanks!

Huh?

You want a print of a wineglass as a backdrop?

[sdsumike619]

no not the wine glass, just the color of that type of wine

You can key in any color but dark redish is tough. Need a story board and camera details.

Green screen to merlot is kind of a tough case but can be done with care and the right equipment.

I meant an actual, physical backdrop, not using a green screen with digital background....

Visit the fabric store and keep key/fill off it.

Go to Joann's or some other similar fabric store.

My mom and sister both sewed so I spent a lot of time in fabric stores. The problem with buying pre-dyed fabrics is that most will only be available in widths that are too narrow for a large backdrop. However, most large fabric stores have bleached and unbleached muslin, cotton sheeting or similar all-cotton fabrics in larger rolls. Either Joann Fabrics, Hancock Fabrics or Michael's should also have dyes that work well with all-cotton fabric. If there is nothing close, Rit has a color mixing chart. Mix up a little and do a test with a small piece of your fabric until you acheive the desired shade.
