How can anyone be sure about the original color timing? - Blu-ray Forum

How can any consumer be sure about the original and proper color timing? I see a lot of posting about how this or that version is "off" or incorrect, but how can anyone be sure? Is it based on previous home video versions like DVD's? What if those were "off" or incorrect?

I'd imagine that unless an individual has the original print and a perfectly calibrated system;
-projector
-bulb
-glass
-eye sight tested by expensive Beverly Hills optometrist
-etc,

one could only guess and judge to their personal taste or call out a release with glaring color issues such as over tinting or bleeding saturation.

I've been curious about this for a bit, maybe someone could enlighten me, shed some light on it?

Is the bulb used in the projector warm or cold and how many hours of use can a bulb withstand before it starts rendering the scan too dim and not true to intended color?

What about the sensor of the scanner, or the lens used? How are the optics in the lens at reproducing color? Is there an industry criteria for such components included in the scanning process and if so, what are they?
