I have to say Mr Ranger that I am very impressed with what you are achieving with those tools in the hunt for a single application of colour correction for the entire reel. I tend to think with my hands in the grading suite, it is intriguing to see your approach, and the great results you are getting.
That would definitely give a better starting point to then go in and do the final grade to bring some of the punch back into the images. Your process flattens everything a little, but that is easier to fix than the colour cast. It will be a piece of cake to sneak a little blue back in there to restore the whites. You have restored the green without washing the reds to orange too much. Well done!
