Do you want to check it out in a 15-minute virtual tour?

Let's take a look at how the color selection tool works in Details! First, these are the definitions of the terms Details uses in this color selector. So everybody is on the same page, here's a short glossary of terms:

• Hue: This is the dominant attribute of any given color
• Saturation: This is the intensity of any given color. For example, blush and bright pink are both hues of pink, with varying saturations.
• Opacity: This is how transparent or opaque any given color is.
• Modal: This is what pop-out windows within any software are called, Details uses this word a lot when referencing 'the Color Selector modal', for example
• Complementary Colors: Complementary colors are two colors on opposite sides of the color wheel. Complementary colors can enhance one another's brightness, be combined to generate useful neutral hues, or be combined to create shadows.
• Triadic Colors: Triadic colors are made up of three hues equally spaced apart on the color wheel. When one color dominates, and the other two are utilized as accents, they complement each other.
• Analogous Colors: Analogous colors are groups of colors next to each other on the color wheel.
• Tints: Tint refers to any hue or mixture of pure colors to which white is added.
• Shades: Shade refers to any hue or mixture of pure colors to which black is added.
• Monochrome: Monochromatic is a color scheme based on only one single-color tint. It uses only variations (shades) of a single hue, made by altering the saturation and brightness of the base color.

The Worksheet is where the entire event is built from start to finish. Members create category sections for their events to add the starred Recipes and Items for their clients to view on The Proposal. Each Worksheet includes customizable Markups, Taxes, and a Bunch Calculator to maximize profitability.  

So as an example, it's possible to incorporate trend photos in proposals and recipes. In those photos, you can click on a part of the picture and it creates a palette with the colors you see in the picture. Uploading imagery of the trend color in arrangements, decor, and even wedding attire as inspiration images to use in your client's proposals is just one of the pros when you would be working with Details Flowers Software. 

Testimonial 

Casey Coleman Schwartz from Flower Duet, Los Angeles, talks about how happy she is with Details Flowers Software, and how it changed her day-to-day work. Every florist has limited time, and Details make business easier. Not only in planning the event but also in the administration before and afterward, business got so much more profitable. 

Casey:

"I had pieced together how we did proposals and had a pretty good system….so I thought. Then covid hit and we did not have to make very many proposals. Then, I won a 2 months trial with Details. My life changed. The timing was perfect as we were booking events again and I had time to navigate and learn the program. The training and support are amazing to assist, in order to ensure the success of the product. My first few proposals that I sent to potential clients commented on how beautiful and detailed they were. I have gotten almost every job I have proposed. Thanks so much…I started at the end of June and I just sent my 85th invoice. I am a dedicated Detailer."
