^ While 4K83 has no current release that may be called theatrically accurate color, 4K77 v1.0 is close. It wasn’t corrected to a projection, but the soundtrack on the film was white balanced, and what we are left with is something that is similar to the projected print, compared to the evidence I have seen. The fact that the Tech IB print is unfaded made that simple enough, and the 4K83 print had no such luck, since it was a red faded Eastman print.

Regarding 4K83, there will eventually be a release with colors that approximate the theatrical timing, and will hopefully be done sooner than later. I’m working from the colors on the unfaded LPP scans they have, correcting for the excess of blue in those sources.

As far as the color corrections that have come out for both restorations go, they were never intended to be theatrically accurate IIRC. They were corrections made by a member to suit his personal tastes, and those just sort of became the defacto colors until more corrections become available in the future.
