So LED especially blue cause all kind of issues taking photos. I am not a big phone camera person but if you want to get actually decent properly colored photos. Without having to spend $30 for a single color clip on or an app to try and hope it matches your lighting settings.
I use my Rosco color gel filter sample and choose the correct shade of yellow or orange that best fits my lighting profile to give me the most natural color.

they seem to be sold out but I am sure you can find them somewhere or even go to Rosco sight and see who might carry the sample swatch kit. Sometimes they send them out for free. Thats how I got mine years ago.

Here are before and after using the gel. I use the #310 Daffodil gel for my tank
I took these really fast so it wasnt trying to get perfect sharp images just quick handheld to show how much of a difference it makes with only a $1.80 sample set

That's great. I used to have a gel swatch sample book as well. It is lost to the ethos though. Thanks for sharing!
