I’d love to apply the HD color to the UHD image, but I’m not sure how feasible this is.

There are versions available from the group SWTYBLZ which are 2160p 10bit SDR, created by applying a tonemapping algorithm (“using tripple mixed Hable-Reinhard-JJ per scene+frame analysis algorithm”) to the HDR UHD Blurays. They’re not quite 100% identical to the official 1080p SDR colours, but they’re certainly very close, and are very useful if your UHD Blurays don’t look right on your TV for whatever reason.

Looking at the screenshot previews, it seems like these are faithful presentations of the HDR grading converted to SDR. I think this is probably good for anyone who is completely unable to display HDR encodings.

But they capture the seemingly darker grading of the new HDR releases. The official SDR, based on the new Disney+ streams and the blu-ray.com screencaps, are bright, vibrant, and saturated in comparison. I’ve yet to get my discs, so I can’t confirm with the direct comparison on those.

Edit: the mkv previews do look good.
