Colour Swatch Slection available in Photoshop etc.

Hey You Gifted Photoshop / Image Manipulation Nerds!
My Humble Pranaams!
Here is a problem I am unable to solve on my own, as a very low level Photoshop/CorelDraw/Corel Photopaint User, for purposes of medical illustrations especially displaying and printing natural images of Surgical Operative fields (Video/Still) and Pathology Specimens in their natural colours. Mother Nature's plethora of colour swatches being a zillion times richer than Adobe and others' man-made colour swatches, colours like Glittering Gold in many shades, Shiny Silver, Blood Red etc., do not come out well through Photoshop though I can capture them in my VideoCam or even on some medical websites. Moment I transfer those captures into Photoshop, PS repaints them with its own limited colour swatches, making them lose all the glitter and gleen and shine! How do I get over this handicap? Is there any other way of getting over this limitation of PS? (Admittedly I am a sworn admirer of Adobe Photoshop!)! Is there any other package which can meet my requirements?
Please let me have the benefit of your rich expertise and vast experience.

    sukanth......Have you explored all of PS custom colour options .....there are many to choose from . I just had a quick look in PS Version 7.  You can also create your own colours if desired as well .

    If you don't know the answer, it isn't a dumb question.
