Yes, the colors were off in the pre-THX LDs, but consistently. There was scene-by-scene color correction applied to the Definitive Collection, which means it's a much more complex task to return to theatrical color from them (as I'm sure Zion & MBJ will testify). Now it's probable this would have been done between a D1 master and a D2 intermediate (probably along with the DVNR), so sourcing the DVD from the D1 would get you arguably closer to the theatrical color. However, it's possible that the color correction was applied to undo fading present in the IP, in which case the inverse would be true (but you'd have to put up with DVNR smearing and composite video). If anyone has more info about the DC CC or the exact source of the DVD, I'd like to know. Apologies to all for going off topic.
