Could it be what we in the old days used to call “illegal colours”?
Love to see the mention of Sorry to Bother you, I was the VFX sup on that film. It was an amazing project to be a part of.
Is this something that could be happening as a result of compression? It’s interesting that you’re not seeing it on the small screen but you are on the large. I’m not seeing it in the blu-ray of Sorry to Bother you which leads me to think it’s related to mastering for streaming…?

First up, THAT IS AWESOME. That movie is great.
As for the color, my current suspicion is it’s in the Streaming/BroadcastService-to-TV color transform, like when it takes it from the PQ format or whatever Netflix HDR stores the data in, to the TV’s personal color space.

Kind of (I think anwyay). The old illegal colors were IRE values that would be clipped off during broadcast, and it seems like these new colors come about when one or two of the channels are negative when converted from the broadcast to display format.
So here’s an observation on this, I’ve noticed it happening with a Peter Kay video on YouTube. This was filmed in 2011. It plays well on the telephone but watching YouTube plugged into Sony TV and the blues are all over the place. I wonder if it’s an mpeg codec.
If you’re interested, take a look just don’t staple the Vicar.
do you watch Netflix or youtube through a playstation. I noticed an increase in saturation viewing Netflix from a ps4 on a sony tv. I had to change the settings on the ps4 to get it back to normal
It’s a Mac mini to a Sony lcd tv. I’ve done the same on the Mac and changed the lut. It’s better but not right. It must be new compression vs old tech that causes the issue.
