Agreed. My pics of YMB are darker / richer than this color appears in real life. This is because the pics I posted were from the original camera JPEG files (where I have color saturation boosted slightly, +2 saturation on my Nikon D7000).

It is always difficult to get an accurate depiction of color indoors.

I also have RAW versions of the pics I took. I typically don't do anything with the RAW files other than saving these "digital negatives" for archive purposes, however, I did pull the RAW file for one pics that I posted which provides a more accurate rendering of YMB. The first picture below is from the RAW file. the second picture from the JPEG file I posted previously.
