That's another ignorance here.
You can't also really say the color-grading is not final. Because movies are not a production that works in incremental steps, as the color-grading will be upgraded to the final look and become better. The initial look is right there. The only thing changing will be minimal cleanup in various elements. Not the general look.
The same argument is made about cgi effects. They do not upgrade them as if it's some kind of a software. The final composition of a movie or scene should be there right from the beginning.
That's a bunch of arrant nonsense ^. Wrong in every respect.
Watch this video comparing what you would describe as the "Final" colours and "Final" FX in the Hobbit trailer, to the "Actual final" colours and FX...

Also, as anybody who has ever watched a Deleted Scene before will tell you, the colour grading can be vastly different.
CGI changes dramatically throughout production. The sea dinosaur thing in Jurassic World received updates with each trailer. Color grading can also occur as a near final step. I lost track of the ignorances.
The first trailer (I think that was the superbowl one), had a strong green tint. The later trailer was more teal. Thats interesting. The same happened with Mad Max, previously shown it had less strong oranges before the release. This same thing happens to countless movies, I can't name any else right now, but it happens endless times.
And then someone said a trailer does not represent a final look of a movie. That is to say they do additionally re-grade a trailer to show off? They do show a movie-preview with a different color than the final release?
Seriously that is questionable.
Why so much pandering? Is everyone so insecure.
How do they decide for what kind of color-grading to go? The only thing I can think of is a chart like that:
First global release = have a balance of 40% teal, 20% yellow and 40% orange. Official movie release = 45% teal, 15% yellow and 45% orange?
This all sounds way too forced. How can you even have some degree of creativity with those forced ways of looking at things.
As someone other said. Yes I would like to see a movie with a different color-grading, strongly if that.
I.e. What about strong reds and strong blues, or greens? Why must it always be teal and orange? Doesn't that sound like forced restriction?
How do you go about the fact that one movie would probably profit from a different color-palette if the only one at disposal is teal and orange?
