Official Size and Dimensions
The cited consular guidance requires two recent 4×6 cm photos[1].
The cited source does not specify a head-height measurement[1].
Background and Lighting Requirements
The consular instructions specify a white background[1].
Proper lighting is just as important as the background color itself. Stand in a brightly lit room where light hits both sides of your face evenly.

Natural light from a large window during daylight hours often provides the clearest and most natural result.
