The Dark Knight's colors on BD is suppose to different from its theatrical run, quoting:
"On The Dark Knight Blu-ray transfer, the biggest error – by far the biggest error – its producers committed was the complete change of the film's original color timing.

Thanks for everybodys contrbutions to the project and thread.
