Painted Scenic Backdrop

What backdrops/props have you found most useful?
I'm starting a small studio and I was hoping for the insight of some experienced studio portrait artists. Which backdrops have you found most useful? What 2-3 colors/types would you recommend I start with? (I was thinking a hi-key white, a chocolate brown and then a pastel or a patterned one. Don't care for the painted scenic ones.)
Definitely black and white muslins, 10x20 or bigger. I answered your previous question about backdrop outlet and mentioned the fantasy cloths or whatever they call them. I got a bunch of them, some mottled, some solid color. I think I have 15 of them or so. I got a bunch of them off ebay with minimum bids, and I got them like 4 or 5 at a time from the same place to save on shipping when applicable. They can be put in front of white muslin, or for a different look, put them up in front of black. I've laid them on my platform and used them like a sheet, used them for wraps, curtains, very versatile, light and they have a nice broken up look so you can just smash them together in a little box and they look fine when you get them hung and stretch them a little.
I'd definitely look at your clientele to pick the other muslins. If you shoot little kids, that changes a lot versus shooting older people and teens, especially for males. I have a light blue and white one that works well for little boys, but thats about it. I have an orangy peachy painted one that works well for all females. I have a grey, a dark blue, an autumn one which is a little loud, but good in the right situations. I use the orangy one the most, aside from white and black.
I have a black fedora and an old black wool blazer than I keep around. The hat is pretty useful. If you do a lot of little kids, you gotta get one of those bubble shooting guns. Looks nice in photos, gets kids laughing and holds their attention.
Best of Luck.
