DarenDoc says this in the article:

One point on the commentary of TMP that I’d like to clarify… when we made the recording, we were watching the transfer of the film that Robert Wise supervised the color timing for… and you can hear me commenting on that, and the fact that the two shots in the v’ger interior where we corrected the deflector dish color were in the copy we were watching… are not in fact in the new HD transfer. Overall, I’m sorry to see that the timing supervised by Mr. Wise and approved by cinematographer Richard Kline isn’t on this release… the new transfer seems shifted a bit too much toward the cyan in most scenes… but the contrast and black density seems proper now, now that NTSC vagueries aren’t a consideration.

And clarified in the comments after I asked him what version he was watching:

We were watching a video of the original theatrical edition. When we color corrected the theatrical version with Mr. Wise, it was in HD… that was then down converted and used as the source material to do the Director’s Edition. This version of the theatrical cut was what we were watching when we did the commentary. We watched a standard def video when doing the commentary.

So they made an HD color-corrected version of the theatrical cut which has apparently never been seen! The released Blu Ray is more original, but still a bit more cyan.

I think the SLV is fine having started with the DE since it was color corrected and looks good from that end. Or are you going to go through and break the deflector dish color in Vger? ;-)
