Hi there,
 
here are pictures from me in my Dedra uniform. Don‘t worry, the Tunica does not have a yellowish tint. It's just my lights at home
 

I’m baaaaack with my annoyingness after finals and Christmas. LOL!
 
Here’s my take on the color thing. There’s a difference between screen-accurate and set-accurate, and I’m going to use the original Star Trek series to illustrate that point (which some may be familiar with):
 
When you see Captain Kirk on-screen, in the show, the tunic has that 60s/70s gold color to it, with a hint of green. If you ever see the actual costume in real life, it’s straight-up avocado green. The way the studio lighting reflects the color makes it appear MUCH different onscreen. To me, the “screen-accurate” color is what we see on screen, and what we would imagine the uniform would look like in real life if Captain Kirk were to step out of your TV screen and into your living room. The avocado green is set-accurate, so, in real life accurate. In my opinion, we need to be going with what is seen on screen, not for what it looks like in real life. We want to look like we *are* the characters, as they are on-screen, not mannequins in a museum.
 
Especially as we’re talking Tier 2 and Tier 3 approvals, I really don’t think we want to use the way the costumes appear in the real world as a basis. Tbh, I feel like if it’s anywhere close to what we see on screen, it should be acceptable for Tier 2-3. The shades of olivegrau aren’t that picky for line officers, I don’t see why it should be for Andor ISB and Dedra. Certainly not to the extent of specifying a Pantone color (a family of colors I could see, though).
 
Also, I would like to suggest potential higher-tier details for Dedra’s hairstyle:
- She wears a specific bun style that should be re-created/emulated, and
- She wears a light blonde hair net over the bun.
 
Dedra’s hairstyle does make her different from her colleagues, after all.
 
(Edit for spelling error.)

Since we're all stuck staring at fabric on screens, what about just using a hex code instead? Like so: Ghost white / #f8f8ff hex color (colorhexa.com)
 

In regards to the color question, yes every film today is color graded but with that being said, if the color grading was affecting her tunic that much there is no way the pole beside her in the attached shot wouldn't also be affected.

It's fantastic to see that there is a new realistic Canon female Imperial officer character,  for that reason alone she should have a seperate CRL named ISB Supervisor Dedra Meero, as it really is a specific character with specific hairstyle and there are so many subtle differences in comparison to the other ISB Supervisors.
The IOC would be doing it's members a disservice for not giving her a separate crl as there is finally a female character that's added to the roster of approvable costumes.
 
I am at work now but when researching last weeks into these officers I also noticed that there is some slight differences on her coat aswell, or that there is at least a male and female version of the coat with the female version looking much more tailored and the length appears to be different aswell.
