The Guardian article the AI article seems to pull from is better, but aside from the links to Desperately Seeking Susan, I agree proof is limited. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2018/nov/11/nature-or-nurture-debate-three-identical-strangers-film
That said, relying on web searches for research on the 80s doesn't work that well.
Overdone computer-enabled post-production colour manipulation is one of the (many) reasons I find it hard to watch a lot of film and television drama productions of this century.
I much prefer the result when the manipulation of colour is achieved through lighting on the set or location.
Two examples of films I think have fantastic use of colour in the lighting are Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Desperately Seeking Susan.
