The TIEs appeared as blue in many shots in ANH. As we know, the GOUT is pretty faded and desaturated, losing a lot of the blue tints. You can't use this as a reference for colour. but even with the fading you can see shots where the TIEs are blue tinted, even in the scene you say they never appear bluish in any way shape or form
Now these were just 2 examples
The 1997 SE is supposed to be the closest for colour reference to how ANH originally looked (before the tinting added in 2004). Now there are many times that the TIEs are clearly blue tinted
And the model you posted the pic of was sold at auction in 2008 and the pic of the model used for the brochure shows that it wasn't as white as it looked in the bluescreen photo you posted:
Now the TIEs changed from grey to blue even in the original. They were never grey 100% of the time

Watch Ady's latest clip; in some cases, his TIEs are bluer than the originals (pause during the first fly-bys with the 3 SDs).
Now that's just not true and i posted links to screenshot comparisons a few pages back that proves that isn't the case.It may look that way in the youtube video because the blue may stand out more because of the tint added to the whole shot in 2004 coloured the stardestroyers in the background

Well it looks like ANH had the Great Flipper debate, ESB has the Great Blue TIE debate and i hate to think what the Great Debate fro ROTJ will be. ;)
If that's the case, then nothing needs to be changed then. It's interesting that I've never noticed those shots you posted, so I guess it's time to watch STAR WARS: ANH again (twisting arm now).
I would like to see side-by-side comparisons between the big LD release, the "original" version that came out as the second DVD with the SE, the 1997 SE and the 2004 SE to see the differences in color balances. I have a DVD-R of the LD I made somewhere, as well as the SE with the original version included.
In regards to the clip you posted and my comment that there are a few shots where your TIES appear blue-er than the originals, I will post some screen caps to back up my point.
