There is no point using photos on this forum to try and prove your point. Especially since quite subtle hues and tints are involved.
1.It is very difficult to get the same colour in a photo as the real item
2. the colour distorts as soon as you save it in a compressed format such as jpeg
3. the colour distorts even more when viewed on a computer screen. Every single person viewing the image will see a different colour depending on the video card, the monitor, and the settings of both.
The best you can do is to find various examples and use the same camera and lighting to photograph all of them and then post them all together in a single image. The colours still won't be right but at least a comparison can be made and differences noted.
