The other day I actually paused the teaser at the very last moment of the shot showing the back of the legs of the new Stormtroopers as they are about to disembark down the ramp - turns out that it indeed seems that it's just the colour of the lighting inside the transport they're waiting in that is reflecting the hue on their armour...as the precise moment I paused the end of the shot shows the legs of the Stormtroopers turning to gleaming white after all at that point, as the ramp door opens wider. It's just that the shot ends abruptly at this point, too quickly for our eyes to catch this last frame. So I'm satisfied that the blueish/teal look of those particular shots is just due to the colour of the lighting reflecting off their armour after all, rather than due to deliberate colour-meddling.

This frame...

...incase anybody was wondering. Nice spot, thanks.

This is a very, very good point.

I wonder if they did that awful blue lighting on purpose, just to play with fans like us. ;)

I had no problem telling that these were reflecting the blue lighting inside the transport.
I'm not saying that to sound snooty or whatever, but it was obviously not done to trick anybody.

I have a buddy who used to think the stormtroopers in the carbon freezing room in ESB were orange.
