I, too, couldn't figure how to apply my R-G-B approach to the stewardess shot until I remembered the analogue-to-digital relationship of tint-to-hue when correcting LD-captured color bars. Using hue was the solution. So, too, is your problem ... only reversed. The solution is an R-G-B adjustment.

The Blu-ray shot not only looks green in the moon's surface, but also green and blue of the aqua moon bus. It could be approached as Green & Blue are too strong. Or it could be approached as Red is too weak. In such darker shots, I prefer strengthening the weaker color(s) to raise the overall luminance level ..

Viola! And, yes, this does look like the LD capture ... if that capture is slightly brightened (increased lightness & contrast) ..
