What about this reference...

seems like it's closer to the Blu-ray to me than this color matching program. Not saying it's bad but to me I think there is something you are failing to take into account... Common sense on skin colors and so fourth. Over saturated Blues and Reds should be very apparent to you by now in your output... You can see that it's just not a natural range of color.

 The fact that it's closer to the bluray is not surprising. It is a showing of a new 35 mm print, probably based on the same master as the bluray, so it's colors will be pretty much identical. So, it's not a very good reference for how the film looked in 1981. The reference I'm using is from an actual 1981 print. Whether it's accurate is of course questionable, but the colors are a lot more saturated than the bluray, and closer to what comes out of the color matching algorithm.
