Guidelines for color accuracy and lighting?

To ensure your product images display accurate colors and consistent lighting, Miraqls recommends following these technical guidelines:
  • Lighting: Use soft, diffused lighting such as a 3-point lighting setup or a lightbox to minimize shadows and glare. Daylight-balanced LED lights (around 5500K) help maintain natural color tones.
  • Color Accuracy: Enable white balance calibration on your camera or smartphone. Using tools like a grey card or white balance card ensures the captured colors match the real product.
  • Camera Settings:
    • Use ISO 100-400 to reduce noise.
    • Set aperture to f/5.6-f/11 for sharp focus across the product.
    • Lock exposure to avoid brightness shifts between images.
  • Background: Use neutral, non-reflective backgrounds such as white, light grey, or matte surfaces. Avoid glossy or colored backgrounds that distort color perception.
  • Avoid color manipulation: Do not over-edit images. Minor corrections for exposure or sharpness are acceptable, but altering actual product colors is not allowed.
Following these guidelines ensures your product's colors appear consistent, true-to-life, and professional on the Miraqls marketplace.
