Actually the color grading is based on the 1995 laserdisc and not the 1999 DVD, that accounts for the weird hues you are seeing. On first page I presented those two possible regrades. Initially, everyone seemed to like the 1995 LD better for a variety of reasons, like warmer skin tones, more 70s era look, etc.

Yeah, I understand that. I was only referring to those '99 regrades on the first page. They don't match my '99 DVD that well, hence my question. Not trying to be critical to your project in any way, quite the opposite, just being curious of why I see these differences in hues.

Well that grading was a first run, a which looks better. There was a bunch of fine tuning to do but no radical hue shifts to correct that I can see. What example are you having trouble with? It matches pretty close for me, just checked the DVD:

The big thing that needed work was the pic of Lambert's face needs warmer skin tones. That's why Alien is taking so long, grading the colors right 90% is easy, the last 10% is hard.

In the end, it doesn't really matter since its all work that been abandoned.
