Had a client ask for 'sunset orange' and bring in a picture of a tangerine

I mixed a custom copper-gold blend, but she pointed at the fruit and said 'No, like this peel.' I had to explain that hair color doesn't work like food dye on a photo. Has anyone else had to talk a client out of trying to match their hair to a literal piece of produce?

Wait, she wanted the color of the actual peel?

Yeah, I had a client ask for "banana yellow" last year. I just brought a real banana to the paint store for them to match. Saved us three rounds of sample pots trying to guess the right shade.

Oh man, that sounds so frustrating!
