Yeah, that's true about flash. -_-; I was hoping to keep this costume relatively inexpensive though since I was only planning to wear it when requested for a group. I think I'm going to wait and see what my friend's opinion is on the color since I'm doing the costume mainly to go with hers.

I had a problem years ago with my first cosplay where the purple coat I had would usually come out looking blue in photos, flash or not. Makes me wonder when I see a costume photo where something looks like it's the wrong color if it's just the camera.
