Thank you, Chris!

I think this is some of the best advice, which supports my theory that good advice doesn't care how much you paid for it.

It is my nature to dig in my heels and wrest control from whoever has it. Still, it's hard to do when you don't know all the pitfalls that must be avoided. I do know to take my own reference. I even recognise when my own reference isn't good enough, and then I arrange to take more, which is my next step.

But all that isn't a lot of use if I don't know what to specify, or how to arrive at certain suggestions.

So your advice begs a question.

If I had one client, I would use the color wheel to arrive at a background color, probably based on the clothing she was wearing, or maybe her hair/skin coloring. But now I have two clints to be in the same picture. They have very different coloration, which reflects in the clothing each wears. He as black hair, and likes to wear blues/blacks. She has dark auburn hair and likes to wear tans.

How does one arrive at a harmonious colors when the subjects are so disparate?
