Looking at the I.B. Reference, I think you took the green way too far there - on the I.B. print, the wall seems to be pretty much the same shade as the BD with a bit less saturation and just a very slight green shift in the highlights. The skintone, on the other hand, seems right on the money in your picture.

Ah, the limitations of color-correcting in 8bpp... :-(

What's that got to do with anything?

8bpp = low dynamic range, which might explain why the skintone is a good match, but the wall isn't.

I'd bet that he can't get the skintone and the wall to match the IB reference due to the low dynamic range; there just isn't enough "room" for the correction.
