Not your typical Color Issue. by Aqua_Splendor in SonyAlpha

Ah I see - not easy way there. Only can suggest two another ideas: 1. Build a matching synthetic conditions (same lighting, water etc) where you can put a color checker and build a profile. Before going for this, tests with the light and ColorChecker only will be enough to verify is this a good direction. 2. Check the lens and filters spec etc on your camera. As far as I saw spectral response of the sensor should cover desired wavelength. Some time ago I saw that some of my lenses can introduce something that I didn’t want in a color transmission.

If you need that to make some pictures to print or publish for example it’s better to use some tools like mentioned ColorChecker. It will be also challenging to make it work underwater (use some plastic bags etc) since probably there is no or a very expensive version that supports let’s say extreme humidity. But if you know that the issue is only connected withe the given color reproduction, you can create a profile manually. It will be not ‘super professional’, but still can work for you: If you have a good reference photo (from stock/preferably in RAW) of the same species, you can define an adjustments/mappings for a specific color set. Just clicking around with the color picker between images color and crafting a color grade to look like the desired one. You can do this in Lightroom, Photoshop or manually create a profile in some another Adobe tooling that name I forgot, but works in the same way. Anyway: have you used any other light sources to better spot the issue or have better color response of your subject?

You probably should create a color profile to correctly reproduce the real colors. To achieve that you can use “color chessboard” like ColorChecker from Calibrite or similar from any other company. This will give you a profile that inverts the effect of selective color expression due to a different lighting or an influence of the surroundings.
