I saw HoD not that long ago at a charity screening. The colour was actually closer to the Bluray than to the DVD version. The DVD is artificially warm, and very red, even in those comparison shots the whites are all pinky.

It did look less subdued at the screening though. I think part of the problem is the colour temp of carbon-arc light vs scanner light sources.

Films used to be timed for Carbon Arc projection, and will look much bluer if projected with modern Xenon or similar equipment. This could lead to colorists believing the print when viewed using the incorrect light source is the way the print was intended to be. I'm guessing but I reckon this is why so many BDs are coming out leaning towards Blue/Green, they are viewing the old master prints with the wrong colour temp light source and matching to that.
