Neither. Liver failure also. Plus, this new comparison shots show a reddish shadow on the wall/door behind the guy. Previous A was better.

The previous A was for the retro release, that's supposed to replicate the desaturated look of the prints and look as natural as possible. The fleshtones on the technicolor release aren't exactly supposed to look natural, the fleshtone colours are meant to be more saturated than is natural. The A technicolor settings here are exactly the same as the previous A settings, the only difference is the amount of saturation.

Take this picture of Ingrid Bergman for example:

Or this shot from Gone with the Wind:

I take it that you prefer A over B then because it has less yellow that gives that liver failure look in fleshtones? Compared to those technicolor shots above the saturation level of those screencaps is actually really conservative. I'm kinda tempted to push the saturation level a fair bit more actually, see how far I can go before my eyes start to burn haha
