I like this a lot more than I did your blu color corrections. It might boil down to personal taste, though - plus, you have a different goal with the GOUT than you do with the 2011. On the GOUT you're just going for the most pleasing look, yeah?
Actually, the goal is quite the same. I'm trying to fix the most obvious color errors and of course make it look more pleasing and balanced overall.
Just like the blu-ray, this one would require a scene by scene correction if aiming for complete balance and accuracy, but I think even here it makes a great improvement even with these settings overall.
One setting in particular that was very useful was SatMask, the long in-script function. It works like vibrance in photoshop: It increases the saturation of the least saturated colors in the picture, and since the GOUT is very desaturated overall, it did wonders to it.

This generally reminds me of LeeThorogoods earlier project, which I never did get to watch due to newsgroups...
Actually I never got to watch that one either, but from the screenshots I saw of the final version, that one looked much brighter, maybe to the point where whites got clipped.
