Two things - the photos in the story books are a mix of production photos and film elements plus there is little control over the printing and for the film elements we have no idea of the color timing used. Such print photos are unreliable.

The other thing is that I feel the colors on the technicolor prints are not represenative of the colors on the rest of the prints. So I don’t think matching the technicolor colors is the right approach. I think they are a good guide, but they need to be corrected to better match the regular release prints so I don’t think the warm tones of the technicolor prints are accurate to the general release. From things Mike Verta said in his videos and the way he processed the images, I think his final colors (which he has not released except for some tantalizing samples) are likely to be far more accurate. I think the colors on the Technicolor print are flawed and in need of color correction. They certainly don’t look like a typical technicolor print colors.
