Solid colors win

Solid, mid-tone colors photograph best. Small patterns and thin stripes can shimmer on camera.

Bring options

Pack two or three tops in different colors. We’ll pick the one that works with the backdrop.

Rest beats retouching

Sleep, water and skipping salty food the night before do more than any edit.

QUESTIONS

Good to know.

What color should I wear for headshots?

Choose a solid color that contrasts with the backdrop: darker tones on light gray or white, lighter or brighter tones on charcoal or black. Avoid matching the backdrop.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. The color check runs in your browser and the photo stays on your device.

What does the contrast score mean?

It compares how light or dark your outfit is against each backdrop. Higher numbers mean you stand out more clearly.
