QuestionWhat color surface is best for working puzzles?Community AnswerSometimes it can depend on the puzzle. For instance, if you're doing a puzzle with a lot of brown pieces, and you work on a wood surface, the pieces may blend in. Black blends in to a lot of different puzzles so it may not be the best choice. If you do a lot of nature scenes blue and green probably won't be good, but something unnatural (like pink) would be good. Get something that won't hurt your eyes to look at for a long time, and then something that your puzzle pieces won't blend into.
