Yes, The Embassy VHS of the International Cut is the one I'm talking about.

Don't get me wrong, the transfers on the box set are amazing, it's just that the colors on older transfers seem to differ from them greatly so I've been questioning how accurate the colors actually are on that set. It's still an amazing set though and the colder look is probably more appropriate for the film anyway. The original Director's Cut DVD is an awful transfer, but it was the only version I had seen for several years so I always associate the film with alot of oranges and browns.

The International Cut VHS has more in common with the old Director's Cut DVD transfer than any of the newer ones, but it also looks quite different from any other transfer, which is why I'm curious to see what the Criterion laserdisc looks like.

Didn't Embassy put out a laserdisc too? I wonder if it's the same transfer as the VHS.
