Choosing a flattering palette without guessing
My sister asked me to help with her hair-colour shortlist because she wants a modest update before her wedding. She is currently a muted honey blonde, and she does not want guests to notice a sudden or theatrical change. The difficulty is that one sample looks slightly grey under warm lamps, so everyone reaches a different conclusion. One relative prefers a few lighter pieces, while the photographer advised keeping the overall contrast familiar. We decided to stop voting from separate screenshots and compare the same references on one shared screen at normal brightness. Her dress is cool white, and the ceremony includes both a dim room and outdoor portraits. That combination makes a natural-looking root more important than chasing a fashionable label. We used hair color analysis as a shared reference. Next we will photograph her current hair beside fabric in a neutral studio corner. The stylist can then judge whether subtle lowlights is the safest choice. We also plan to keep the background neutral during the test. Does anyone have a daylight routine that avoids misleading wedding photos? |
