...but two mastering houses scanned the OCN and they came back with the same result independently, that cannot be just a coincidence

Sounds like they either kept the colors as they were on the OCN or they both used the same color reference given to them by the studio, who wished it to have the same color timing as the other two. Either way, the fact that the colors are more natural, doesn't mean they are more correct. Just like the colors on the FOTR EE BD are more realistic in some scenes - sure there's a green tint over the whole thing, which is not exactly realistic, but scenes like the council of Elrond and the whole Rivendell sequence were originally intentionally timed to very unrealistically warm tones, which gave it its otherworldly nice-place feeling and in the new coloring these scenes were timed much colder, which gives it a much much more realistic color palette, yet it's completely wrong as it destroys the original atmosphere.

And the argument that the teal and yellow tones are some new sort of coloring is not quite accurate either, but this simply brings me to post this link, as it was already argued to death there, which is why I stayed away from this debate here, but I just couldn't do it any longer :-) It's quite ok for you to prefer the DVD and HDTV color palette of Raiders but you keep making it sound like it's also the correct one and I strongly disagree.
