Haven't they been botching a lot of color grading recently? I've heard they've fallen for the "it's on bluray so it needs to be tinted blue" meme.

Two recent Criterion releases that have got criticized for colour grading were the Wong Kar-Wai boxset, and the Kieślowski “Three Colours” 4K re-release. But the Wong Kar-Wai colour grading was the director’s own choice and simply handed over to Criterion, while crew on the Kieślowski pictures claim that the 4K re-release colour grading is more faithful to the original celluloid than the earlier Blu-Ray release.
What? That sounds so ridiculous, but I would not be a bit surprised.
Modern film colour palettes is why when I saw That Dress breaking the internet my first thought as "you're both wrong, it's teal and orange" and -lolsob-
