Right now the versions on Amazon, iTunes, Vudu, Movies Anywhere, etc. are from the same master as the Blu-ray. So they all have the same color issues. Hopefully when the 4K version comes out later this year (fingers crossed it’s still happening this Summer!), they restore the colors to their proper hues. Hopefully. And if that’s the case, the Digital HD versions will likely get upgraded as well. But yeah, right now they all have the gross green color grade. The theatrical version has the original, beautiful color grade across all streaming services though, as does the extended edition on DVD.

Thanks. Shame that there isn’t a official ‘definitive’ options for the Extended Editions right now. They’re classics and people deserve to be able to see them in their best light.

Luckily The Two Towers and The Return of the King aren’t affected, and the official Blu-rays of those films both look amazing. So this restoration of Fellowship should more or less fill the gap.
