Bluray regraded:

I thought it was an interesting shot… I had a go myself now ignore the change of contrast outside the image I did not bother to crop it. But I think there are a number of ways to handle horrible hues. I always do this (now) from the HSV section of the color correction in the Bias and decrease saturation. It works differently to normal or standard saturation and thins out the hues… Then I color correct out what is left and even re-saturate the image using normal saturation.

Not sure it is of much help for you developing your color match tools or algorithms but for what it is worth I just wanted to share a different way of approaching this problem.

The Bias saturation does a great job of eliminating horrible hues especially in highlights and also without in this instance having to push green / yellow too much to get rid of the magenta.

Not trying to say one is better or worse just different techniques I guess. I did not do this either to get praise but I wanted to show you how I approach this problem that was all. It’s an interesting shot for all the nasty hues in there for sure.

I probably need to drop value here somewhere also in the mid range but it was only for the purpose of eliminating nasty hues really. one contrast color needs changing blue contrast by the looks of it too.

Interesting about PC decoding colors too!
