This is at best a complicated issue Tom and colours are going to be

variable due to white balance the sensor and pixels, and also very important

due to the qulity of the lens.

 

Other colour problems are caused by poorly-designed capture

 and processing systems take the form of colours being recorded

 as the wrong shade,or particular colours becoming oversaturated

 (too vivid). Additionally,some colours may be ‘clipped’because

 they lie outside the gamut of the colour space used when saving the file.

 

Gamuts : The entire range of colours that can be recorded or

 reproduced by a device Will  vary a great deal,with the human eye

 having a greater gamut than cameras,which in turn have a larger

 gamut than printers. As hs been suggested often it is better to rely

 on our own eyesight, and make corrections and also contrast and brightness.

 

Most cameras use a colour space known as sRGB,designed for compatibility with the maximum number of devices.sRGB,however,has a relatively small gamut,and the

mapping used to create the file must ensure the maximum number of colours are preserved. Check which your camera and software that you use are both the same and see which gives best results.
