Although, in the light of the most recent findings, it seems that the SW and ESB colours might actually be quite accurate.

Are you referring to the 04 dvd's? if so they're not even close sorry.

As bad as the 2004 transfer is, I would say that the 2004 version of Star Wars has more accurate colours, but the GOUT has better brightness and contrast levels. Neither of them are accurate in terms of the overall image, but the 2004 colours in many instances are better for the simple reason that they are there. ESB is a bit iffy, since Hoth is really blue in the interiors, but then in the exteriors it's actually less blue than the GOUT's restored colours indicate if my memory of the SE is correct. I think the reason that the GOUT overall feels like a more natural viewing experience is because it is at least consistent overall, whereas the 2004 transfer has pretty good colours in one shot and then bad colours in another, and then in a lot of other shots it introduces problems that were never there in the first place, so you never have any adjustment time.
