What works in practice

  • Keep the code small and grey so it does not compete with the work.
  • One code per piece, linking to that piece.
  • Include a buy option — interest fades by the time people get home.

Common question

Will a grey code still scan?

Yes, as long as it is clearly darker than the wall behind it. Test before the private view.
