Yeah. Although, I don't just use the GOUT as a reference. Wherever available, I compare different sources and references, trying to colour correct it the way I believe is closest to the original colour grading (which most of the time coincides with what I like, so that's cool) based on all references available to me. And of course, choices will be made based on personal preference even in my project, because the references sometimes simply aren't there. But in those cases, I usually make my choices based on what I think was probably in the original. That's the nature of my project.

The nature of your project is different - your effort is to make a version you'll like, which, unlike for me, isn't necessarily the original version, so the original colour timing doesn't really have to mean anything for your project and that OK too :-)
