Here’s those two shots from 4K77 compared to my corrections, to give an idea of what it could all look like if someone ever did a proper shot by shot correction. (Which would of course take a horrible amount of work. I still think the 4K77 looks amazing as it is!) I used the 1080p version for my corrections since it’s the only version I have, so if you see any compression artifacts it’s just because the source isn’t lossless. Whites and blacks were balanced while keeping the mid balance and altering the gamma curve.

I’m actually working on a shot by shot correction, where the aim is to approach the theatrical color grading but without the color casts and inconcistencies introduced by the technicolor printing process. Here’s another example of where I would put a preliminary color grading for the two cantina shots based on the references I have:
