I agree my screenshots aren't perfect.  I didn't think it ranged a little too far into orange skin tones (from the boosted yellow).  Ironically, I think Luke's flight suit should be more orange.

The problem is we don't have full spectrums to work with, so the portions we do have, increased, can look unnatural.

That's of course is assuming all colors were intended to be at or near full saturation.  There could also be other peaks I did not take into account without the whole film.

Any green-ness is not from me since I did not change its saturation.  It's probably subjective with the red reduced.  I think the answer is probably somewhere in between.  A smaller reduction in red (which unfortunately does feel more natural even if we know it to be wrong) and a smaller increase in the other colors.

If the over-green persists I would add a "G" to the color reduction line (along with the red).

So probably more like:

levels(3, 1.08, 255, 0, 255) #Note: Changes in gamma can effect

                                         #color saturation.

converttorgb() #required to use Hue filter

hue(channels="RYG", hue=5) #Adjust hue "CCW" for Red, Yellow, Green

hue(channels="YBM", sat=1.30)

hue(channels="R", sat=0.9) # add G if still too much green.

converttoyuy2() #If you are encoding using CCE
