How to take photo of bottle green T shirt

[Tarun Kumar Ghosh]

I ordered one Navy Blue T shirt online and got one bottle green T Shirt. I contacted and they told me to send the photo of the T shirt. But whenever I took pictures of this bottle green T shirt it turned as blue.How can I take the photo so that it appears with its normal color bottle green.

Thanks for your time.

Hi,
TEST
keep a white sheet of paper ( normal prinitng type) along with your T shirt and take a pic of both at the same time, if the color of paper in the pic is also blueish ...or in any way very different than white then it is color processing issue in your phone

2 possible reasons
1. White balance -    try taking photo in direct sunlight or change "white balance" setting in your phone to match the lighting around you

2. Auto color correction within your phone - try using some other phone, try using a stand alone camera

If your phone supports Raw mode picture shooting, go to the Pro mode of the camera, select file type as Raw / DNG (as the case may be) and then turn the White Balance slider till you can see the correct colour.

You can also keep a white piece of paper or cloth next to the item, click the picture in Raw, and then use a Raw editor to select the white item to set the white point.

Take the picture outside in natural daylight

Hi.

I don't know if this goes for modern photo sensors, but I had an experience with film in the 1980s which was like this.  I did a portrait of a gentleman who was wearing a light green sports coat.  In the finished print, the coat came out tan colored.  The white balance was correct, but this happened just the same.  I came to find out that some synthetic fabrics are seen differently by different films.  Polyester sport coats were a thing in those days.

The suggestions to try a different light source, or a different camera (with a different sensor) may help.  And, of course, you will want to white balance for the shot.  Maybe even include something white in the frame to make your point to the vendor.

Good luck with it.  Happy Day.
