The right one.
Note that both have problems IMHO.

But I've respect to people asking silly questions, so, no problem.

Sand green is my arch nemesis. I took so many photos of it but I have never once
no matter the lighting or post-photo colour correction been able to get sand
green to ever once look like sand green. but with this I'm looking more so
at the angle and which people like better

for it, I literally downloaded an image of sand green from a Lego official render.
uploaded to a site to get the RGB values and then went to another site with the
image and then adjusted the RBG values to try and get them to march and got from
about 50 away from each colour to about 10 away from each colour sand
green is my 1 true enemy

If you're using photoshop, are you using Selective Color or Replace Color?
Probably the fastest way to quick tone.

You're all good.
Perhaps try and lower/lift the specularity/diffusion?
First is too light - second is too dark 😂

Diffision is the base colour - specularity is how the light then further diffuses
and/or perpetuates that base colour. Whatever that means.
I prefer your halo entry, with the amazing left eye detail.

If you layed the leg assembly on it's buttocks, it would resemble your other
picture more colour-wise.
It's not worth the filthy angle you'd have to perform to accomplish that

  Right. What colour green is that precisely - it appears comoletely different
to your last green entry.

Sand green is my arch nemesis. I took so many photos of it but I have never once
no matter the lighting or post-photo colour correction been able to get sand
green to ever once look like sand green. but with this I'm looking more so
at the angle and which people like better

is this sand green better perhaps

Much better color and I can still see the logo.

Thankyou for your input! It seems like the consensus so going forward I’ll try
to go with that method going forward

Mine look like this. To my eye your options are too low angle and too high angle,
but if I have to choose between them, I choose too high.

I don't think the legs on your piece are pointing straight down from the
hips. It gives the hips a menacing quality as they glower over me on the low
angle and it makes the high angle look higher.

I’ll try to go for a more middle angle next time

Yes, back up a bit with your camera so you don't get so much distortion.

I’ll try! although from what I was able to learn from some tutorials my current
phones camera works best when it’s closest to the part but I’ll try further away
(can’t zoom in tho cause it only makes it worse) but I’ll see if I can crop it
to be a bit smaller maybe

I don't specifically remember, but it is likely that I copied yours.

I can't remember either. But it made sense to switch all legs to an angled
shot as a reference for all the dual-molded parts. It also shows light reflections
so much less!
