I'm surprised there hasn't been more comparisons with the old trailers from the SW Bonus DVD, I think it's interesting how vibrant some of the colours are from those:

Neat to see just how not blue Palpy's throne room is. A little on the warm side actually, but that could be from adding the sabers in.

 The trailers on the DVD unfortunately are missing a lot of the colour in some shots. This is likely because they pre-date the final answer print by many months. That might be why on the trailer the Hoth hanger only has some blue, while in other sources, noteably the (enhanced/restored) GOUT and the theatrical bootleg, it is very blue, as some might have been added by colour timing. As far as the above cap goes, in the final film, the throne room is almost as blue as it is on the 2004 DVD. You can see this on the theatrical bootleg, the GOUT, or any past home video releases. I think publicity stills have it fairly restrained though, so maybe it was shot "neutral" like the above cap from the trailer which uses the raw dailies, and then timed blue in post.

EDIT

That outtake from the dailies on the Falcon looks stunning as far as the colour goes. Such a difference.
