I'm thinking about changing my hair color, but I want to understand my undertone first. My phone photos look quite different depending on the room. In daylight my skin looks fairly neutral, while the bathroom light makes it look much warmer. I realize the phone may change the white balance. I don't want to pick a hair shade based on one misleading picture. Would you photograph the same face in steady natural light? I'm also unsure whether to compare my face with a white shirt, a gray background, or several fabric colors. Some guides focus on veins, but mine are hard to judge. I found this page while looking into skin undertone test camera and plan to use it as a starting point for comparing colors rather than treating one result as a verdict. Has anyone found a simple way to repeat the test without changing the lighting? I can keep my clothing the same across photos. That would give me a more consistent comparison. I'd especially appreciate advice from anyone who checked their palette before making a hair appointment. I have time to try a more careful comparison before I book.
