DrDresaid:

I tried to experiment a bit with color correcting the first reel of the sample -1 shared a few weeks ago. I used a single frame as reference, namely:

The match was not perfect, but it's not that far off:

Then I used the color correction model on a number of other frames:

 You did a good job matching the source, but what exactly is the source? I tried looking for an article and they don't even have any dated June 2015. Hmm.

Offhand, it looks to me a bit like what Harmy did for DeSp 2.5. Corrected to match scans from a print, but the scan it's being matched to might not necessarily be corrected. And like his correction, it's a bit on the green and desaturated side. And also like his, they look pretty good. The deleted sandcrawler shot looks a bit funky, though. As always with my comments on color, this is just biased opinion and I could never claim to know how things are 'supposed' to look.
