Although I like your screenshots, the desert scenes are more orange, as they are on the bluray, where the 35 mm frames show it should be more yellow.

You've lost me there. I adjusted your regraded screencaps by removing a bit of blue to get rid of the slight cold feeling. Removing blue makes the image more yellow. I also adjusted the fleshtones to make them less red, not more red.

The only way the desert would look more orange with my adjustments would be if i'd added red, not removed it like I did in this case. As far as I can tell, the hue of the desert in my adjusted screencaps is closer to the hue of the desert in the 35mm screencaps than your regraded screencaps. Am I missing something?

I used one of one of your regrades to construct a color correction model. The basis for my argument is the result I got for this frame:

To my eyes your regrade is more orange. Analyzing the rock Indy is standing on reveals average RGB values for your regrade [163.9701 118.4535 71.4151]. The same analysis for my regrade gives [158.8538 120.2475 74.3358]. So, more red and less green in your regrade, hence more orange.

I also did the analysis on the original frame I used to make the model:

The average RGB values for the sand to the left of Indy in your regrade [166.8212 129.9876 91.2088]. The same analysis for my regrade gives [161.0879 130.4117 96.0465]. So, again more red and less green in your regrade, hence more orange. The same analysis for the bluray gives [168.6993 129.3077 89.6064], so your regrade is almost as orange as the bluray.

In this frame for the 35 mm the sky is also pretty blue, so reducing the blue results in a more gray sky like in the bluray.
