What background for product photos

We have to re-photograph our entire catalogue of products this year, unfortunately most of them are paper-based products and are primarily white/whiteish.

We have some studio lights and a light cube, but what colour background should we use to avoid colour casts/show through but enable easy removal of the background in PS??

Its not a bad idea and one i've considered however keeping black, "black" is very hard and i'm concerned it might cast through the paper making it look grey rather than white :confused:

Logo colour is purple, we arent lilely to find the same purple background as our logo colour though!

I've got a Purple backdrop roll on its way so we shall give that a go and see what happens!!!
