So I take it you've compared both the pre-'Quadrilogy' DVD version and 'Quadrilogy' DVD version against your Blu-ray version on the same equipment/settings to make this judgement then?

If that's the only way to really tell, I just don't get why the slight difference in color timing is that huge of an issue.

To me, color timing only becomes an issue when it's at Blade Runner Final Cut or 2004 Star Wars levels of change.  This set is nowhere near that.

Well that's the thing I guess.  You personally reckon there's only a 'slight' difference, whereas I happen to think there's more than just a 'slight' difference between the pre-'Quadrilogy' ALIEN dvd colour and the 'Quadrilogy' ALIEN dvd colour to begin with... 

Pre-'Quadrilogy' (PAL) dvd in top shots, with 'Quadrilogy' (PAL) dvd shots underneath -

 

I wish I could prefer the 'Quadrilogy' dvd's altered colouring, but I really don't...and that's why I was concerned that the blu-ray would be just as off-putting to me too.  

But after Chewtobacca's comments about the blu-ray having a more of a 'mid-way' look compared to the previous contrasting dvd releases, I may be less disappointed once I get a chance to compare them all myself.
