Hi,There's no color difference between the WOW laserdisc and dvd; they appear to be the same source elements, although why the dvd was released in mono (very low-bit rate mono no less) escapes me.
The technicolor transfer runs to the browns (very common) but is excellent nonetheless. For EYE-POPPING Technicolor check out DR. CYCLOPS on LD. It's a 50's sci-fi cheeze-fest about a shrink ray, but it has the most intense technicolor I've ever seen (and I specialize in collecting technicolor movies).
The WOW was indeed released in TRUE STEREO for the roadshow prints; this was done to help compete against the threat of television by the movie studio; if you listen carefully to the WOW soundtrack you can hear a lot of out-of-phase material that gives a nice surround effect in stereo.
Watch for the authentic remake of WOW by Pendragon films coming soon; it's done in Victorian times and is true to Welles' novel.
