As to colors, there is no "maybe it would look better if...", there is only "it looked like this or it didn't".  Harmy had a very good color reference, and he approximated those colors from the Blu-rays the best he could.

You might have missed the drama that called the accuracy of MVerta's reference frames into question. I can't remember which thread it was in at the moment.

No I didn't miss it, I just didn't want to get bogged into details for what could be a short answer.  Basically references can have problems too, but the solution is to aim for a more objectively accurate reference (i.e. counteract the green bias on the Technicolor print), not to just wing what you think looks good.

But yes, the reference wasn't perfect, and Harmy's attempt to match the Blu-ray colors to that reference wasn't perfect either.  The objective, however, had nothing to do with natural or unnatural--it's making it the way it was.
