Maybe the problem is cheap LED lamps. Check for a high color rendering index [1] (CRI >>90)

Exactly, if you get nice CRI 95 lamps you are unlikely to have a noticeable problem with color rendition.

But still beware, the CRI printed on the box (Ra) is kind of flawed since it is measured on unsaturated colors and does not include information about color renditions of red objects. You would have to look at the R9 value as well.
