Yikes. Cameras don't interpret light the way our eyes do, so unless every one of those photos had a Macbeth color chart in it, whose RGB values you know, and you were viewing them on a professionally-calibrated, color-critical display, you can throw them out. Given the universe of monitor inconsistency among users, very few of whom have professionally-calibrated color-critical monitors, anyone doing professional color grading has to take most input with a grain of salt. The total lack of standard in the world is the thorn in every colorist's side, but it's the way it is. If Harmy - or anyone - manages to find colors which are "pleasing" to 80% of people, that is a freakin' miracle. But even "pleasing" has little to do with "accurate." At the level of subtlety being attempted here, there simply isn't a monitoring chain accurate enough to count on, and he can easily end up chasing his tail. Chances are that many people are actually making suggestions which would degrade the actual data in favor of biasing it to register a certain way on their inaccurate monitor.

So take it easy :)
