if “one lut to rule the whole” isn’t set in stone here, warmer works better for day/exteriors while cooler works better for night/interior scenes.

I agree with that. Best of both? 😃

Here’s a second set of regrades with the same settings.

Bluray regraded (warm):

Bluray regraded (cool):

Definitely improved. But there is still too much orange and especially teal. But not sure if you can actually get it to the right balance without a huge amount of work because it is inconsistent.

I don’t see teal in the regrades at all.

I didn’t mean to come off as negative, I think Dre is really talented with color. It looks good.

To my eyes the difference between the warm grade and the cool grade is pretty subtle, so I’d be happy with either. Here’s a screenshot comparison:

I think i prefer the cool, though as you said, they’re very close and are both great.

I think I prefer cool also. Seems more authentic to the era, at least to my eye.

I actually like the warmer colors better. Much of the film is in desert climates and the cooler version just doesn’t look like a hot desert sun beaming down on a desolate environment.
