I don't know OP, but I felt sorry for (you).

lol, for a second I thought you were talking about technical issues with the bt709 colorspace

The Matrix Blu-ray has a greener tint than the theatrical release, but this has been the case since the DVDs of the trilogy were released together.

Everything's green because hacking

There have been preservations of 35mm prints of the movie (google "The Matrix 1999 35mm 1080p Cinema DTS v2.0", unsure if it's out there anywhere other than the private trackers I'm on but it's worth a shot) along with old bootleg VCDs showing the original color timing - basically, the original film wasn't coated in green to a huge degree, but Reloaded and Revolutions were, so they retroactively changed it for the home video release.

Everything but the original 1999 DVD has been GREENED

in addition, here's some notes on commonly-asked questions/trolling attempts from the preservation's creators:

"After all fixes, the color timing of this release is still vastly different from all other versions of "The Matrix" that are commercially available. To the people who're going to dismiss it:

- No, the DVD version is not theatrically accurate. This release uses a very high quality scan of an original theatrical film print, properly color corrected. It had to be done, because all "The Matrix" prints have intentional color "errors", that get neutralized when projected with a xenon bulb. This release accurately represents the projected print's look.

- No, the print is not "faded", it's a ridiculous claim which was thrown around quite a lot in comment sections of our earlier releases. Low fade film stocks have been introduced in 1982, all movies produced after that year have used them. The technology kept getting better, so "low fade" means that the color of this print is the same as it was in 1999 and will outlast all of us."

but those shots look all washed out and faded, I doubt it actually looked like that back in 1999
