Our fixable problems with the DBox are the color cast, the blue-cyan sky being a green-cyan, Goku's orange gi being too red and blue top being too magenta, and some characters having too pink of a skin tone. Fix those and, well...what more do you want? It's funny we're still talking about this, though, because I'm pretty sure Ashura himself already did all these things way back in his original post, 5 years ago.
Honestly, I think the DBoxes are fine as-is, and the only change I'd like is the removal of the colour cast. So yeah, I also don't really get why everyone's trying to over-complicate it, particularly since every attempt I've seen so far to replicate original broadcast colours, or cel colours, or whatever all have humongous flaws in their methods, whether it's unreliable cel scan accuracy, faded tapes, poor video encoding, or even just poorly-implemented CCing.
I think ultimately, the thing colour correctors need to get into their heads is that while being accurate is pretty cool, the only thing you need to worry about is making it look nice, because ultimately being truly "Accurate" is a lost cause, practically speaking. The only way you'll ever get properly accurate colours is in GT if you use the D2 tape masters as colour references. And even then, there are some points of debate there.
And really, just by removing the colour cast from the Dragon Boxes, you'll get something that looks pretty nice.
The point of Dragon Ball is to enjoy it. Never lose sight of that.
