Well you have only watched Youtube footage and most of the Hoth footage posted was from the first colour pass to remove the cyan tint. Those photos you posted aren't really a fair description of what the glacier would look like in daylight as neither one are in full daylight. check out these photos that were taken recently at the actual Hoth location in Finse.

Hmm, not much blue there is there and certainly nothing like the 2004SE.

You mean like this?:)

Also check out Finse 108, Finse 118, Finse 119 (I almost wish the Hoth battle had a look similar to 118 and 119, as the bright "high noon" lighting makes everything look more model-ish),

I think he was primarily speaking of the night or dusk-ish scenes, such as when Luke sees Ben and the like. Granted, the blue hue on the 2004 SE was cheaply overdone to give the above photo impressions. Even so, considering that the ENTIRE video image of EMPIRE had the blue shift (even after everyone left Hoth), I don't even think that it was intentional... or the video processors just forgot to turn the filter off...

BTW:
