Hopefully this illustrates what I'm talking about a little better.

It would be more helpful to compare against still from the workprint.  We already know the Blu Ray colors are wrong, and Harmy's workprint doesn't look much like the Blu Rays anymore.  Are you sure there's even a problem to fix anymore?

The issue I'm trying to point out is with the red channel highlights clipping so that any bright red object becomes an area of 100% saturation/brightness and the image detail is lost. It is possible to restore that lost detail with good information from the other colour channels as shown above. Harmy's colours are not the issue, they're actually great. I personally find that these clipped reds stick out like dog's balls so if it's something that bothers him, and he's interested in fixing them, he can.
