You have to use spray out cards (or similar) and evaluate paint choices in different lighting situations.
Yes, 110% agree.

I had a friend ask me about his engine paint colour if I felt it was correct.

Beautifully correct in the flesh. Not even close in the photos.
Never ever trust photos of anything from any device.
