Actually, can anyone confirm... are the TIEs all blue in ESB (1980) or only the ones associated with the Executor?

After studying the video its seems all the TIEs are blue not just the ones associated with the Executor (even with the ever changing shades). It would have made a lot better sense if it was just the ones from the Executor that were blue and have the other ones grey then there wouldn't be the problem with the grey ones in ANH. The one thing that annoys me is the lame excuse that they were grey because they were the Death Star squadron. So why were the SE additions blue / grey and the Death Star ones in ROTJ blue? That is why i ignore any explanations that weren't in the movies (like the EU).
