Yeah same here, watched in doubletime to get a general sense and took some caps of odd colors, but probably better to ask what scene did you use to 'set' your color adjustments.  Not worth commenting on random scenes which got thrown off.

But will anyway,.... some random things which came to mind.  3po looks more 'white gold' then 'golden' overall.  In the Blockade runner, never noticed how different white these randomly placed 3 horizontal circle things are.  In the shot of Vader picking up Antilles, there's the boot shine and it's almost all blue.  After picking up R2, the Sand Crawler at dusk/night shot has a really deep blue sky.  But felt the shots inside the Falcon look great, probably one of the areas where you were using to set the colors.  As Kenobi deactivates the tractor beam, the matte painting gets a very different color scheme then the on set stuff.  Ben's lightsaber's color in the Vader showdown is something people will bring up.  Multiple shots in the Death Star sequence go purple, for instance see when Vader's tie fighters get shot.  Can't complain about the 'face' shots they look true.

[*note* for the record, i'm no color expert, first saw Star Wars on a black and white majorly cut Library 8mm, and am on an uncalibrated monitor.  That aside. Am still confused by all the talk of the color blue since 2004. See the issues, but not sure what to do to solve them. *end note*]
