This is pretty much where I got to before I got bored with it all. I adjusted the white balance, but that then throws everything else off. I also couldn't get the camera to accurately reproduce the VFD colour at all. I have a small translucent (diffusing) light tent (about 1mtr3) and some daylight floods ( 3 x 100W) to use with it, but you still get reflections even with very diffuse light - the glass/FEV is just so shiny. Not to mention I'm only using a Panasonic TZ-5... What I'm resorting to is getting a decent photo, the photo-shopping it as you mention alongside a lit tube so that I get the colour right. I used to work with some graphics designers who had a marvellous thing that read the colour and gave you the Pantone equivalent - it was integrated with the enormous Canon pre-press printers and Apple workstations they were using. I miss having them around - they would have just grabbed the actual colour and given me the RGB (or whatever), at which point I'd be sorted!
