I sell a few inherited vintage garments online during weekends. A recent burgundy listing shifted toward violet when I checked it on a tablet. No sale was lost, though the color label suddenly seemed careless. Calibration hardware would exceed the value of much of this inherited stock. I work near a bright window and include a neutral card in every first frame. It keeps brightness more stable, and I cannot always name the temperature of muted fabrics with confidence. I used this deep autumn color palette page to build a small vocabulary list. I treat palette labels as comparison terms rather than personal recommendations. The revised listings will separate the visible base color from any tentative undertone wording. Every listing can contain a reference frame with the grey card left in view. It should communicate useful detail without pretending the camera is perfectly objective. Does anyone use a similarly modest workflow for photographing second-hand clothing? I would particularly like advice on wording borderline shades such as burgundy, plum, and rust.
