First time poster here! I'm sure fans of older films on bluray are familiar with digital restorations producing an anachronistic color palette, leaning to teal or sepia for example. Sometimes it's just annoying, sometimes it really weakens the impact of the film.

My question is: is it possible to at least partially offset those hues by calibrating your TV a certain way? It's technically based on the white balance, and tends to be rather consistent within a film. Obviously you'd never reach true accuracy, but accurate-ish might still be preferable to teal and orange.

Maybe somebody here has some ideas/experience.
