...please show me a picture, made with an digi cam that can catch the candybluegree color spectrum.

Here You can see 2 paint jobs that I did by myself, the candybluegreen K0 is the only picture that is looking not simple blue but still fare fare away from the original color spectrum.

I find that most phone cameras don't portray candy blue green properly, most of the green part isn't there.

I agree, the blue/green is difficult to see online.

 I'm swapping to Drag Specialties marker lights on my old Rat Race bike. Stockers look odd on this one and I feel the need to run turn signals, so I re-cycled some old parts and added a pair of new lights.

No matter how many times you paint over a shadow, it's still there.
