Message:: [QUOTE="mdjensen9, post: 2169836, member: 73784"]I'd like to add as a lighting specialist. The color of an object as illuminated by a light source is directly related to the CRI ( color rendering index). Incandescent light sources all have a 100 CRI. The reflected color you see is the color it is. CFL bulbs have a less than desirable CRI, typically around mid 70 - upper 80's. All fluorescent bulbs have a 3 number listed i.e 741, 750, 835 etc. The first number is the CRI, the second is the color temperature from lowest 2700 (incandescent warm) to 7000 very white with some blue ( color of sky at high noon on a cloudless day). LED can also be a good source, but very few with a CRI over 90 so far. With all that useless info, the higher the CRI to 100 and adjusting the camera settings will give you the best chance at the true color.Good luck[/QUOTE]
