Why is yellow a good idea and purple isn't? Seems silly to me.
The point of the yellow saber was to still give the old jedi order a special saber color chosen by few. Technically it only existed in the EU, and was more of a golden color.
One advantage would be to sell off Dooku as some sort of Rogue jedi, who was actually good friends with Qui-Gon, and had Qui-Gon lived, Qui-Gon may actually have joined Dooku. I know it's a weird twist, but it's been discussed before by other editors. I would have also had others have it to show they aren't completely odd out, like I mentioned before.
Now, Mace Windu on the other hand, is stupid. No one else has a purple lightsaber except for him and he's technically the only black jedi. I just think of "the color purple" everytime he pulls out his lightsaber. In other words adds nothing to the story and just makes it further from the OT.
However, it is something I'm sure other editors or even just straight viewers of these might not agree on. Which is why I said I haven't decided to implement it.
There's even new CGI I could do to replace some stuff (probably Coruscant mostly, and a much stripped down opening battle), but again I'm don't think I want to go overboard on these. Also, doing new CGI for parts would delay this project atleast a year, maybe two.
If you do any changes beyond color timing and film grain, I think you should consider making one using them, and one with only the film effects and color timing changes. As someone who's grown used to the purple lightsaber, however pointless, it would be a bit jarring for it to be something else. I still don't see why you would make Dooku yellow though, seeing as it's specifically stated in Episode II he is a full Sith Lord by that time. I do sometimes forget there are no Yellow sabers in G-canon though, I seen to remember seeing an orange lightsaber toy from Hasbro on shelves at KB toys at some point for Ep. II.
There was an orange lightsaber toy on sale for a time that got discontinued really quickly. http://theswca.com/index.php?action=disp_item&item_id=46306
