OK, I did some quick and dirty, not-really-meant-to-be-accurate futzing with the second image in Picture Manager just to see what would happen to the lightsaber if I played around with the hue to make Luke's skin tone look warmer.
Notice that the saber is now a little closer towards cyan. Still more blue than in the other scene, but perhaps it looked a bit more green in that one shot originally. This tweak is not meant to approximate how the color actually looked, just trying to show that maybe the other shots look *too* blue because the rest of the color isn't warm enough.
So many mysteries...
That looks too warm to me. If you look at the pics Harmy posted of Luke first meeting Obi Wan you can see how, before alteration, they were likewise far too warm. It made skin tones look odd and unusually red and you can see the enormous differences in the appearance of ObiWan's robe between the shots because the imagery was previously too warm. They could perhaps be made a touch warmer, a little more red bias, but nowhere near where they were before. I think that would fix issues like R2's blue appearing purple and the lack of slight rosy highlights on Obi Wan's hand as seen in Verta's reference pic (making it appear slightly yellowish), and without completely changing Luke's skintone and haircolor as it was prior to alteration.
In those lightsaber caps here are the differences in where they appear in the spectrum, with the leftmost being the top cap the rightmost being the bottom:
It seems to be shifted more towards the green portion of the spectrum in every sample taken on the saber.... by a consistent degree. I think a slight nudge in that scene would improve the appearance of the lightsaber overall and make the difference in hue from a scene-to-scene transition less "grating".
