Moonbus Colour Correction: Correcting the Publicity Shot

Below is a correction of the moonbus publicity photo. Because the image is many generations and has been severly JPEG'd, correction is very difficult. Add to this the complex illumination and it was all I could do to get a decent colour here. Keep in mind that if your monitor is giving off a colour cast then viewing these images may not show colours very accurately.

I tried to select a logical neutral from the foam cup but the image is so compressed down with JPEG that I'm not certain I can rely on this. I did some "eyeballing" and feel that I'm close but who knows. The original as supplied is here.

Below is what JPEG does to otherwise consistent continuous tones.
