I was thinking about they way Disney does things and hit upon something.

We know Disney will default to stereo mixes and/or have ‘home theater’ mixes because people don’t understand setup menus or have proper audio systems, etc.

What if they’ve carried this thought process to their video ‘restorations’ as well. That is, the make sure the picture will look best under torch mode.

It would skew the colors so when displayed on a TVs default settings skewed to a blue-white they’d be closer to their original tones. By scrubbing the image, it wouldn’t turn grain into weird noise when it gets hit by motion smoothing and sharpening.

If that’s the case then at the very least color corrections could be done wholesale by changing the color temperature not just trying to adjust specific colors.

Possibly wrong, but just a thought.
