I need a temporary hair-color direction for an upcoming stage role and we are trying to choose between a deep cool brown and a warmer copper-brown effect. The choice must read clearly from the seats without becoming distracting in close photographs. The blue-heavy rehearsal lights flatten my features, but daylight photographs make the warmer option appear much stronger than it does from the audience. The costume includes muted green and burgundy, so the hair choice also needs to work beside those fabrics and the planned makeup. I am using this skin tone chart as a reference while we compare the full character look. Should we photograph two temporary swatches from the audience distance if evaluated with costume and makeup under the actual lighting cues? The goal is evidence for the production, not an immediate dye decision. I would appreciate a simple sequence for evaluating both options.
