This is an excellent idea. Most of us have lots of small odd pieces of LR around. I'd give you karma for this, but I've got to spread more around.

Sometimes, you have to photoshop the picts and make adjustments for the lighting in use. To get some idea of the adjustments needed, you can try taking a pict of a white piece of paper under your lighting. Then use it as a guide for what color areas you need to lower or boost. It will not be perfect but it's a guide.
If money is no object, and you have a scanner target, and the software necessary to create a color management profile, you can take a photo of the target, and use it as input to create a custom color profile. Then you just load the pict, apply the color profile and you have an almost perfect picture.
