Sorry to interject here, but I find this thread interesting despite being colorblind. I can see the differences, but not the subtle nuances discussed here. Still fun to try though. From what Ive deduced from reading this thread, there really is no 100% way to know what the true colors were without a pristine, unprojected print as a referance. Even then, time would be our enemy to some degree. Just for grins I threw together a comparison shot of a few sources to look at side by side. I had my GF (good color vision and good cinema knowledge) look at them and compare and contrast. She made an offhand remark that the top image looked best for cinema. Just her opinion though. I really have no knowledge on this subject, but I like to learn what I can by reading the threads here. One is SSE, one BD (obvious which one) and the third is something I had in a drawer. I already know the verdict on the 2011 BD (middle image), but I was curious about the top and bottom inage, one being the SSE and one I found here at home. Again, sorry to I cant really add to this thread.
