Of course colour is a subjective process, but you can tell when it is just plain wrong also.

If people's faces are bright orange, and white walls are leaning towards blue then you know the process has gone off the rails. As for setting the greyscales/gamma then that is totally subjective - In theory you want all levels of grey clearly visible, but a creative decision might be to darken up the shadow areas for 'mood' and so lose detail in the shadows that was there on the original film.
Also, a CRT cannot display the same colour space as film, so they are radically different.
