white balanced colors are wrong

[windowlicker916]

So I took a white balance photo and took a picture of these orange zoas.

The plug which is white came out white but the frag came out hot pink.

Any suggestions?

Shoot RAW, fix it in post.

The photoshop tutorial in the sticky is a broken link, fyi, see you are a mod.

Are you sure that it's your camera and not your monitor? I suggest calibrating your monitor with something like a Spyder pro. Also if you're really serious about color accuracy, check out ColorChecker Passport by X-Rite- you can create custom color correction profiles for your camera.

I redid my white balance photo and it started working right
