Thanks for posting that picture with the test card - I have been trying to find anyone who knows what colors were used on the Technicolor Lilly. Were they always the same, or changed for different productions?
This image may not answer it, but it's the closest thing I have seen.

It's hard to believe Superman was shot on 3-strip, but
1) I wonder if that is a real Technicolor lilly
2) (in case prints were made on dye imbibition, which I also wonder about for a TV series); or
3) maybe it's an adaptation of the lilly idea for processing of Kodak film.
