RE: Seems last time I looked at DVD Beaver...

The Blu-Ray of "Searchers" is mind-blowing. Old-fashioned color palette, yet with an almost 3-D depth in some of the vistas. The 8-perf 35mm horizontal VistaVison process (two entire film frames combined) really teaches you about the old adage that 'physics don't lie.'

There has been debate about whether this transfer represents the absolute truth in terms of color; all I can say is that to me it looks right and beautiful.
I imagine the 2006 regular DVD must have been derived from the same master, and so should look similar, if the same color timing has been adhered to.

But if you ever needed a reason to move up to Blu-Ray, this film is a showcase for it.
