Dragon Ball Kai 1-98 use a differrent color palette than the dragon ball z series, all colors channel aren’t exactly the same that’s why you can’t duplicate z colors to them.
For 99 to the end you can for sure use as it was not done the same wayabout dragon ball z bluray , colors are almost okay, film also have tint in the white and some slight alteration like the yellow being too much green and other slight things and yes there is crushed black, overbrightness and excessive saturation
movies also need color correction for what i have seen from the funi movies bluray
your references are good but for the kai 1-98 just keep the color exactly as they are
i already tried this tools and it only fail when the source you want to correct isn’t suppose to have the same colors (i tried with the dbz first episode preview that have goku arm in red (color error) that was corrected in the episode…i tried to color match the dbox footage with the broadcast colors and it didn’t change the arm color cause it wasn’t suppose to have this color
The issue I have with the program is that the algorithm tends to miss color in smaller areas of the image. This example shows it:

The big areas like the sky, the mountain and trees are all matched, but smaller areas like the wrist band, Goten’s robe, the rocks, Videl’s shoes are all missed.
