I don’t agree. I take photos of nature to paint from, but they are never accurate colors on any camera or phone I have. They are blued, cooled down or warmed up but never the correct color. That is why after drawing the outlines from photos I go back to the scene during the same time period for the same light - to get the accurate colors.
