Open your inventory and look closely. Does red look orange? Does black look blue? Are hot spots glaring off the hood?
Software can’t correct light it never controlled. Shoot a car in uneven light and the camera guesses at color. When the car on the lot doesn’t match the car online, buyers notice.
Inside a 360Booth studio, every light is controlled. Matte white walls and diffused light mean no hot spots and no distractions, the same on every car, every shift.

Inside, the black and gray cabin keeps its texture, right down to the yellow contrast stitching.
Accurate color builds trust. Trust sells cars.
