Here is the frames from my comparison:

2006 Platinum looks the best color wise, The Little Mermaid was made in the 80s and tan skin was on fashion, Ariel has sunkissed skin and Eric has tan skin but in the Diamond version there were obssesed with lightening everything up, they seem to want to make Ariel a vampire with cold red hair, The Little Mermaid is set in a kingdom with mediterranean influences and some caribbean too, everything is colorful there, why would they want to make her gothic? I´m so glad they kinda went to the og palette again with the 4k restoration tho it still is missing some warmth in general
In the posters from the 80s she has her beautiful original palette
