Tree from Watercolour to Digital Print

I wanted to go back and look at my original watercolour and compare it to the final printed digital image. You can't see the colour that well in this photograph but it has changed quite significantly. The original background was a subdued brown. Through scanning and printing the final colour has turned into a yellowish orange. Not attractive to me. Maybe scanning in the photolab with the truecolour scanners will have a better effect. The only other thing that I can think of is experimentally adjusting the colours before print to see if I can get closer to the original. Hmmm sounds tricky.
