Here are more comparison shots.
In order to make the video colors in The Matrix look consistent with the sequels, the Wachowskis changed the color timings to be more green for the original film. This was first updated for the Ultimate Edition DVD set in 2004 and then for the Blu-ray release in 2009.
Though the picture quality is superior to the 1999 DVD release, the environment in the movie just doesn't feel the same. Especially in the the lobby shootout scenes, I always remember the colors as a mix of brown and grey. I wish they would release a superior transfer video on DVD and Blu-ray, but with the original colors.
