If you use MSWindows get a wonderful little program called Irfanview
http://irfanview.com (it is free for non-commercial use) and display a
picture of the wood. Now click on the part that you want the color of and
irfanview will show the color codes in the title bar. It is a simple
process to enlarge the image and click on parts of the picture and note
down all the values.

If you use Linux, Gimp has a similar capability.

As Gilles said our eyes are subject to the most amazing set of optical
illusions which make it surprisingly difficult to assess colors.
