best direct from camera colour match yet

[realspeed]

This is a bit complicated but I will do my best. Camera Nikon D800

I have always had a slight problem with taking the correct colour especially red. So did some studying, maybe you already know, but I did a pre colour in white balance setting using a good colour match on a photo that was still on the memory card using D1 preset manually. How to do it is in the manual as well as in the camera menu help. So far the colours have been spot on against using the ready installed settings.

I don't think I have ever got this close to colour match without doing any editing. These 2 below are straight from camera

exact orange colour





Same with green




This is post not about focus but about the best colour representation yet by me.
without editing.

Exact orange colour? Don't want to worry you but the top photo is of a pink flowered camellia?

There's nothing to read above the pink flower. Just a big empty space.

ok in this case pink but worked with all colours closer match than before. The photos were just examples of to me better colour matching without editing. No red flowers in the garden yet.

the best way I found to get spot on colours is to use this http://xritephoto.com/colorchecker-passport-photo
I use it when I need best images, also you can match other cameras to all have true colours

That costs money, but yes you are right
