Virtual services are here to stay

The 2020 pandemic has shown us that we’d better pivot and develop new services, that can be delivered online, virtually and digitally. Did you start developing new programs?

When I started teaching on Zoom in April 2020, my students experienced the problem that they could not meet with people to practice. I started thinking about short-term and also long-term solutions.
Virtual work will stay. It comes with major benefits: you can work with anyone around the world that you can communicate with. The border is no longer how far people are willing to travel. The border is made up according to the languages you speak. Or how big your language area is.

What had been developed in a simple version is now finalized as a Windows program.

It’s amazing to see that in this weirdest time, Riet came up with lots of digital solutions to help her students. This digital Color Analysis tool is one of the examples. It’s simple, straightforward and easy to use. Anyone with sufficient color analysis knowledge will be able to master it and serve their clients online.

User friendly and complete

There are several online color analysis tools available, but the OK-Tool is very user friendly, clear and versatile. Preparing the color consultation is fun, fast and easy. My client could easily see the differences.

What I appreciate is that the OK-Tool comes with instructions and ideas for client selfies and planning a Zoom meeting. It couldn’t be more complete and easy. I am very happy with this innovative tool.
Thanks for developing this.

Frequently Asked Questions

After the intake conversation, send your client a photo instruction. It describes how he/she can take a photo that can be used for the color analysis. This concerns lighting, background, clothing, hairstyle, make-up. Since you are asking for multiple photos, chances are that there will be a useful photo.

Connecting via video gives you an impression of what the client looks like and presents him/herself. Together with the photo, that should give you a good impression for the color analysis.

It is very user-friendly for you as a consultant. In the OK Tool you only need to edit the client’s photo once. Per file there are between 5 and 36 images available for your color research.

There is some technology involved: importing a photo in the tool, setting up and having video calls with your client, sharing your screen. The tutorial will guide you through the most important techniques.

It is really easy for the client. Apart from submitting photos, he/she does not have to do anything. During the online session you present the color analysis images with his/her photo. And just like in a live color consultation, your client can ask questions, and you can clarify things.

No, the OK Tool is intended for Image Professionals who have completed color consultation training and know how to perform a good color analysis.

This program works with 10 color groups. In addition to the 4 seasons there is also a light, dark, clear, muted, warm and cool type. If you are not familiar with this, inquire about the possibility of getting some  training. It is also possible to use the OK-Tool for working with 4 seasons.

With a proper photo, the color analysis depends on your expertise, and is almost as good as a live color analysis.

You want relatively large photos that are detailed enough to zoom in on the skin and eyes. You can largely overcome this with the photo instruction. If a client submits photos that are not suitable, ask for new ones. Tell them what you need and what you want them to do differently.

Colors look different on different monitors. Check whether your screen is calibrated well by taking a picture of a colorful object, such as a few colors from a color palette, comparing the photo on your screen with the real object. If there is a lot of difference, you cannot trust your screen. It needs to be calibrated.

Laptop monitors cannot always be calibrated. If you are working with a laptop and the colors are not accurate, connect a separate screen to your laptop via the HDMI cable. Separate screens usually have settings that can be adapted.
