Agreed. I absolutely adore the idea of it! But all the brownish colours tell the same story.
For some additional context; many old pigments were not stable at all.

Is there enough color data left in the brown to correct it?
Or do you need to infer it based on location, budget, time, climate etc?
This specific painting was reinterpreted based on specific descriptions of the colours in a letter from the painter.
As far as I'm aware there is no way to know for sure what colours originally looked like, especially if the information is limited. There are so many variables, we can only guess.
Its absolutely lossy and you'd have to know a lot about each piece to know how big the loss is.
