I looked at the comparison video and perhaps it's my untrained eye, but the 2011 Blue-Ray version looks best to me (not as green/brown tinged):

the 2011 version has been re-graded, and that grade isn't static.

That is to say, they were willing to change the colour cast from the original print to make it more consistent.

There has also been a whole load of re-painting and restoration to get that extra detail.

The 4K77 version is literally just a scan from the print. The colour correction is almost static.

The 2011 version has its problems (crushed blacks, magenta flashes, a bit to cool color temperature) but I still prefer it over the rest
