Dolby Vision is significantly altering colors. Why?

This is a pretty good video from the infamous Vincent. I recommend watching it all the way through. As there are many examples and some are more drastic than others. And in real life versus YouTube video, at least on my own setup (Panasonic UB9000 and LG OLED), the color difference is even more pronounced between Dolby Vision and HDR10. All other settings and white balance being identical on the TV.

In gist, Dolby Vision is turning most blues towards shades of green and most reds towards orange. It’s also removing red tones from faces, making them appear more monotone (brown/sepia) and less saturated and just plain wrong, IMO.

While many may prefer this muted look as more accurate, it would still be good to know why exactly is Dolby Vision messing with our white balance? I’m interested to learn what exactly is going on here.






These are some quick examples. For some reason YouTube link doesn’t work on this site, but anyone who is interested can search for it and watch it on YouTube.
