    Is it just me or is the Lorber version the only one with correct colors?

      Isn't the article explaining that it is supposed to be the "better" version?

        No, the article only claims that it is better than previous releases but doesn't give any opinions on how it compares with the later Arrow release.

      It depends on what you care about. The Kino Lorber has good color choices, but far too much contrast: dark areas (including the characters) are pitch black; and you can't see the clouds in the skies.

        You're right, now that you mention it. I want a version that combines the Arrow contrast with the Lorber colours. How strange that they still didn't get it right.

          FWIW I have the Kino UHD and the blacks don't look as crushed as the screenshots imply, with plenty detail visible. No idea if that is a matter of compression on the comparison screenshots or due to different done mapping from the HDR video.

          The clouds are very muted in the frames chosen for the article but still very visibile in others.
