It sounds like a very worthwhile project, Ted. However, there should be a consistent difference between the scanned chips, any petals you scan, and the monitor colour. They may be spot on on another monitor, and wrong with a different hue on a third, but consistently so on each. Maybe have a look at your scanned chips on a few other computers before you adjust them all? Make people visit with their laptops in hand! To me, when you show a range of chips, petals, or both, that helps me to know the colour of an unfamilar flower as compared with one I know well - darker, yellower, or whatever. And that in itself is extremely helpful. I know the monitor can mislead me as to the exact shade. My photos are licensed CC BY (Attribution). More Dahlia photos here.
