Palette Consistency for Editorial Sets
BModel data-driven playbook. Use this with your audit report for faster iteration.
Use this guide to align your set with editorial expectations: narrative intent, directional posing, and controlled visual rhythm.
Why This Metric Matters
Cohesion and palette consistency determine whether your book feels intentional. Inconsistent color temperature or styling drifts reduce trust and category clarity.
How BModel Measures It
BModel uses set-level variance metrics (palette consistency, temperature spread, style confidence, cohesion score) across all selected frames.
Fix It Now: 5 Actions
- Use one color family and repeat tonal logic across outfits.
- Lock white balance and avoid mixed ambient sources.
- Keep camera distance/lens behavior stable for sequence harmony.
- Group final images by category objective before submission.
- Drop strong single photos that break overall set narrative.
Common Mistakes
- Combining warm and cool scenes in one short set.
- Mixing beauty and editorial styling without bridge shots.
- Using one outlier image because it looks artistic.
- Changing post-processing profile between frames.
