Peonies in Pink ~ Photography Question

Peonies in Pink

8″ x  10″ oil on gallery wrapped canvas

This painting is one I did for Pam, trading for a couple of paintings she did for me… 🙂   I’m having trouble with the true color of the painting from my photograph. Maybe someone out there can explain this to me???

side by side

 When I put the photo in photo shop to show the true color of the lilacs in the small photo on the left, the tablecloth becomes a dark blue. If the tablecloth is the correct color as in the small photo on the right the lilacs are more purple.

So in actuality the lilacs are more pink and the tablecloth is more aqua.  Does anyone have any photography suggestions?

And Pam, I hope you can tell the actual color from this…what do you think?
