The original theatrical fellowship of the ring colour palette comes to mind as an example of this later type of grading, where many locations feel different due to having their own unique colour grading.

Don't get me started on it! :)

I love the grading of all three Lord of the rings movies, but I get totally sick of the thought of how they could mess up Fellowship's extended blu-ray release. It had a green tint over the whole movie, especially provable by taking a color sample of the brightest whites, which had more green in them than red and blue. There were lots of other color errors in it as well.

Otherwise I love the idea of using color grading in new movies to make different scenes feel the way the director wants.

Funny that you mention the abomination that is the green tinted Fellowship of the Ring extended edition blu-ray. I have recently created a regraded version of the fellowship of the ring blu-ray that has the green tint removed and has been brightened as well because the blu-ray is very dark compared to the theatrical blu-ray and dvds. That and regrading The Two Towers and Return of the King to remove the not so obvious teal tint running through them was my last project before I started this one. :)

Here's a comparison between the blu-ray and my final regraded version:

How they could release that fellowship of the ring ee blu-ray as it is when the snow so blatently looks green and there is no remaining white in the entire film due to the strong green tint throughout the film is beyond me...
