Need advice before

Marvinurgem

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 much darker in phone photographs, so everyone reaches a different conclusion. One relative prefers a deeper root, while the photographer advised keeping the overall contrast familiar. We decided to stop voting from separate screenshots and compare the same references on one calibrated laptop. Her dress is cool white, and the ceremony includes both a dim room and outdoor portraits. That combination makes the transition around her face more important than chasing a fashionable label. We used cool summer hair colors as a place to narrow the examples. Next we will photograph three hair swatches in morning daylight. The stylist can then judge whether a cool gloss is the safest choice. We also plan to keep the makeup light during the test. What is the simplest way to confirm a subtle colour before the wedding?
