When taking a picture of an object that will have its background removed during editing, it is generally best to use a contrasting color for the background. This is because editing tools can often detect the edges of an object more easily when there is a clear contrast between the object and its background. For example, if the object is a light color, using a dark-colored background can help create a more pronounced contrast, making it easier to remove the background during editing.
While there are various methods and tools available for removing backgrounds from images, such as GIMP, Adobe Express, remove.bg, Canva, and Pixlr, using a contrasting background color can help simplify the process and make it more effective. Of course, it's also important to ensure that the subject of the photo has clear edges and there is nothing overlapping. However, by starting with a contrasting background color, you can set yourself up for a smoother background removal process during editing.
