A poster on hometheaterforum.com has just explained very well (post #373) the problem I have with the way films are given new color timing these days.

Look at the two frame grabs of the marketplace and boat scenes and analyze them by those three attributes. The shade is varied. Some colors are mixed with white, some with black. Lots of contrast. Now look at the saturation. Some colors, like the red robe in the markeplace scene are saturated, and some are muted. In other scenes, that red dress is extremely brilliant in fact.

Now look at the hue. Even though those are two completely different locations and times of day, the hues are identical. There is a reddish hue that is in the dress and fleshtones, a sandy tan hue in the uniforms and buildings, and a teal blue that is in the knife blade, ocean and the shutters in the background. Three hues. No more. Just varying shades and brilliance using the same three hues. If you watch the whole movie looking for this, you'll eventually realize that there are very few deviations from these three hues.

That's how I feel about the colors in the majority of remastered films. I'd go further though and say that I often see the same hues crop up in different films. I remember watching the remastered BD of Lethal Weapon BD a while back and thinking, "I've seen that digital-looking yellow before -- not a similar one: the exact same one."
