Use a lamp with a higher color rendering index to take the picture like the cxb2530 3000k 80cri.

Build your own LED light that has a nice balanced 80-90 CRI with large size COBs such as the Vero 29 
In all honesty though... Seems to me that is the kind of thing you could adjust for with photoshop or something by adjusting the color levels? But really... Building your own LED grow light will cost you less and work better.

My family was really impressed with how well the Vero 18's (warm 80 CRI) illuminated the kitchen when I showcased my latest prototype. Obviously one would want some sort of diffusing material set in place in such a living area in order to prevent blindness, as those COBS are super bright!
I told them that the prototype was for growing vegetables and fruits. They then looked at me in bewilderment, lol.

Shoot photo through green sunglasses. I have a camera that has a green filter function on it. Here's a pic of before and after. I don't use disco lights anymore I make mine panels now.
Before
and this is after
and as you can see the green. That's from regular light shining in.

I'd like to but the DIY seem a bit intimidating to me. I'm good with mechanical things but electrical I get a bit lost. If there is a step by step guide rather than a post on this forum (which gets scattered at times) I'd be into it. Oh...and I don't have a drill press.Build your own LED light that has a nice balanced 80-90 CRI with large size COBs such as the Vero 29

Dang I lost my message.
...i was saying, this pic is taken with my Leica point n shoot. it's not so great but the white balance works OK.
I place a white tissue on the plant at about the same place I'll be focusing. I take a white reading there. It usually works out OK.
photo was shot under totally blurple light.
i have a white 4k cob light now.Photos under that light dont have that much better color fidelity.

I think you can mount the LEDs with Kaptan tape... I have not done it yet but I plan to on my next build, and the electrical aspect of it is mostly plug and play.

Go to page 137 it will show you how to use the white balance function so you won't need green sunglasses
