Mark,
I go to a store that specializes in upholstery fabric. It is usually 60" wide whereas clothing fabric is about 45" The best background fabric as far as I am concerned is velvet. It has a natural gradation from an overall light source and generally goes from light on the bottom to darker on the top. I buy about 3 yard lengths and either sew a channel or pin them over a backdrop photo stand. The one I have is adjustable and the 60' fabric fits on it perfectly.
I get the velvet in lots of basic shades of greyed greens, blues and blue grey greens for starters. I have also used bright magentas, yellows, mint , prints etc.
