I realize how hypocritical it is to say that I think we all obsess a little too much about the color. That’s not to say that all of the projects relating to it aren’t great and worthwhile. But there will always be room for improvement, and it’s worth asking ourselves whether we’ll always be too critical to enjoy the films.
Personally I look at it a little differently. I don’t mind that much, if an official release has a somewhat different grading than the theatrical release. To a certain extend it’s inevitable given the limitations of the color space used. What’s more important to me is, that it’s a good color grading, that is “faithful” to the era, with natural skin tones, and a nice color dynamic. If that’s the case, I will enjoy the release just fine.
Of course I’m still curious, what the original film looked like. It’s interesting to discuss, and to try to come up with ways to estimate what the colors should be.
