bkev here with a debate that has only been brought up recently. According to kei17, the dragonbox colors are faded and inaccurate. Since kei is an old-school Japanese collector, he has several VHS from before dbox remasters; while VHS isn't the best quality-wise, I don't believe colors dissipate on them. MV suggested there be another topic, so I brought it up.
Supports of kei17's idea:
-The green sky, compared to blue during the Vegeta fight.
-The often high levels of red in the color. Take for example Goku's gi in certain scenes.
-Lack of yellow coloring
-Note Piccolo's skintone in kei17's screenshots, and compare them to each of the sources. Here's the best comparison, LD to DBox (although it's worth noting that it appears there was edge enhancement on the LD)

-This is TOEi we're talking about (okay, maybe this isn't a very valid point...)
-Current reruns on channels such as Animax show colors that are different than the DBox, probably taken from earlier masters. Also worth noting are funimation's digi-betas and film remasters; while they have modified them themselves, I don't belive that it was to THAT big a degree that green would become blue.
-Kai. Yes, they are re-coloring the series here; but, it's interesting how different it is compared to the dragonbox. I'd imagine that if the dragonbox were truly the end-all dragonball sourc,e the colors would remain closer than they have seemed to so far.
-Hokuto no Ken, which received a similar treatment, has been once again remastered with different colors. This was remastered using "master film", which wasn't too specific. But I'd imagine they'd use the best prints available.
Things that refute his idea:
-He's going off of VHS...
-Supposedly, the dragonbox was created by remastering generation 0 film prints which were in cold storage and much less likely to deteriorate.
-Memory isn't always the best indicator of how something used to be.

Further evidence could hopefully be provided on both sides of the argument by those with more knowledge on the subject. Happy debating!
