I'm trying to photograph some things to list this afternoon and I'm having big issues. I'm really having issues with purple things, they keep showing up as royal blue. I only have the camera on my newish Samsung Galaxy S4 Active, which normally is spot on with colours, to the point I rarely need to do any touch ups before listing. Even before I take the photo, they are showing up as blue on the screen. I have tried flash, no flash, artificial lighting (LED torch) with flash and no flash. The light coming in from outside is virtually non existant as it's pouring rain and probably about to snow, so quite dark for 2.20pm.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get my phone to recognise purple as purple? If not, I'm wondering if it's OK to use a stock photo, making sure I mention that the main photo is a stock photo, then add a couple of the carppy photos so people can see the actual item they would be buying, even though the colour is wrong?
Thank you wonderful people!

Regarding colour.
Recently I canned using the auto ISO and 20 megapixel setting.
Set camera to 10 meg, 80 ISO ( the lowest possible ) and use a tripod
with timed release ( 2 seconds in my case ). I was having to White card
preset the white balance but now Auto is just fine.
Colours are 'finally' ringing true ( and black is now black WITH detail ).
