Fortunately, it doesn't look like "pinkish-cream" is in 2001's future. :) For if I had a small fortune needed to buy the now sold-out Taschen's The Making Of 2001: A Space Odyssey, then I'd grab this page (from a $1,000+ book of over 1,000 pages, that's only $1 a page -- a bargain of Jupiter proportions!) ..

So then, taking the Stanley Kubrick approved Criterion laserdisc screenshot and simply bumping up the brightness & saturation (as might be done for the actual capture), we get what must finally be the closest yet to Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey:
