FWIW, I'm throwing my hat into the ring on the side of the Blu-ray is certainly too yellow/gold, but I also find the DVD is too blue (haven't seen the HDTV aside from screencaps).  I find the yellow/gold tint to be a preferable choice of two discolorations, but I'm under no illusions that it's accurate.

IMO we simply have to have a better source (16mm or whatnot) to be certain.  My wild-ass guess would place the colors between DVD and Blu-ray, but closer to DVD.  That seems counterintuitive, but I think a little shift in the blue direction can seem more wrong than a big shift in the yellow direction, which is why, to me, the DVD is closer to accurate but I still prefer the Blu.  Does that make sense?
