I never thought Arrow themselves altered the colors. I figured that the licensing company did it to make the film look more "realistic." While the companies that pick up these titles may be concerned with the fans' experience and the filmmakers' intentions, the rights holders are more concerned with exploiting their back-catalog in the HD medium (which includes more than BluRay/DVD, including various mobile formats that might better compress with less complex images) to the perceived notion of an audience that won't be fully satisfied with how a film looks unless you could go back in time and shoot it with HD cameras and a color scheme patterned after THE MATRIX.
