You can reduce the transparency value of the pigment.
Example:
pigment{rgbt<1,1,1,0.7>}

You can try reducing the maximum reflection value.
Example:
reflection{0.01, 0.7 fresnel}

It's possible that the reference image use an unrealistic ior value.
It's also possible that it contains some emissive media.
It may use intside_texture with a larger reflection value and less 
transmition.
It may have been post processed.
