color accuracy on the net?????

The colors found in illustrations of fly patterns in the fishing mags
are not to be believed. One author told me the pictures of his flies
in one of the mags was quite different from the actual fly.

So how accurate are the illustrations of flies on web sites on the
net? And I guess more important, how accurate are they wne printed
out?

I suppose the answer is, "it depends." But I thought I'd ask anyway.
