The colors look excellent. It does remind me of some of the photos from that private screening Mike Verta had a couple years back, where he used an actual 1977 projector with an actual 1977 bulb.

I do think late 70s/early 80s prints often had skin tones trending towards orange. Not having been there, for some reason this feels like I'm watching a 70s print as it might look projected in a cinema in the 70s. (I recall Roy Scheider looking kind of orange on the print of Jaws I saw last summer; even though that was struck some time in the late 90s or 2000s, it looked to me like it came off of an intermediate with original 70s color timing. It just felt 70s.)

I don't really want everything to look neutralized and normalized like the old home video transfers, I want to see something that still looks like a print actually would have looked. Just my two cents.
