Yes, well in the article they actually talk about the color timing of some key scenes. What fascinates me is the greenish-greyish almost tank-like (if that's a word?) look throughout the whole movie and especially the Death Star interior. Also, the author tried to tweak the gout color timing to match the color timing seen in that very theater. Obviously, he succeeded according to the article. I.e., the color timing seen there didn't suffer any degradation but a very, very mild pink shift at the beginning of the movie. I think, the link is the best reference to the original color timing from 1977 as it was shown in theaters then, since this is one of THE original prints, only with a spliced in beginning for the 1981 re-release. Also, the little video segment on that page is very interesting and the theater owner also briefly discusses the Technicolor dye print and its excellent shape. In my opinion invaluable information for your ultimate v3.
