That's not to me a great grade ... note how in the talking-head interview, a two-camera multicam clip workflow: the two cameras are not properly matched, one is more yellow than the other.
And through the video, the levels are sometimes rather dark-ish, sometimes quite a bit lighter. There's not really a good continuity of tonal values for the old eyeball.
There are quite a few tutorials on say YouTube for handling color, some are even actually decent.
It's a multi-step process.
First step: neutralize all media of the project to the same general contrast and neutral color cast. You need to use the scopes a LOT for this ... darks should be similar clip to clip, whites also similar on the scopes. Color should be giving you neutrals (things that should be black/gray/white that are neutral in the say RGB Parade scope and centered in the Vectorscope YUV.
Second: pass through again, more closely matching one clip to the one before and the one after. You should be able to play through without any clip jumping out for color/tonal differences unless you want it to.
Third: go to the clips that need additional work, such as a specific area that needs lighter/darker, something, and take care of those bits.
Fourth, and optional ... give another pass or an Adjustment Layer to the project that gives the whole project a bit of a feel or particular look.
