Ok, I figured the colors got messed up because of Lowry's correction processes and thus they are partly responsible, whether they fixed actual eefects shots or not (in this, I'm talking purely colors, though).

At any rate, it seems no one really watched the film too carefully before shipping it out. I mean, these are supposed to be George's ultimate vision of the originals, but there are lots of glaring errors. He may hate the OUT, but he loves the special editions, by all accounts (I mean, they spent all that time making yet another Jabba!). You'd think that at least George would look at it and say "guys, fix that stuff, will ya?" I know things are delegated to different people, but still, one of the highly placed people could've gotten fixes (at least lightsaber colors) done before the street date for the release, no? I wouldn't be surprised if there are people at Lucasfilm who have seen DE's version of the film and think "we could've done all that if we'd been allowed to!" I still don't think they would have found as much as DE, though.
