Why does my hair look red in this photo
| Our small theatre group needs a wig for a character who appears under both warm and cool lights. The clothing choices are fixed. Now the hair shade is the part we cannot agree on. Our brown sample looks much darker in photographs. The copper option also shifts between pictures. I was looking at hair color simulator as a way to sketch a few alternatives before we order actual samples. Each comparison would use the same portrait. I would also leave the lighting unchanged. However, a screen preview cannot tell us how a wig will reflect the stage lights. How would you organize a fair comparison? Our next rehearsal leaves room for testing. A shortlist of three shades seems more useful than endless previews. The aim is to keep the character recognizable across scenes without choosing solely from a heavily edited photograph. |
