Color matching enhances the realism and personal connection to a doll. Start by selecting skin tones that harmonize with your lighting and room colors. Consider undertones—cool, warm, or neutral—and how they interact with wigs and makeup. For hair, choose shades that complement skin tone and eye color, keeping in mind the potential for color fading with sun exposure. Eye color can influence the overall expression and mood of the doll; subtle variations can create different looks without changing the core features.
Over time, pigments may shift slightly with sun exposure or cleaning products, so keep the doll out of direct sunlight and use gentle cleaners designed for the material. If you’re aiming for precision, take sample photos in your lighting and compare under consistent conditions before finalizing a color mix. Lastly, store color-matched accessories such as wigs and cosmetics separately to prevent cross-contamination and maintain color integrity.
