These look wonderful, though still a bit on the green side.
I agree and disagree. :-) Each shot has a different tint to it. Sometimes it is yellow. I think that is the nature of how it was originally and the set it was on.
I know that some prints have had color shifts in different shots. For example, from what bits I've seen of them, the IB prints have noticeable color shifts in the Greedo scene - every time it cuts back and forth between Han and Greedo, the colors seem to be different. And Team Negative1's color-corrected version of their faded Kodak copy of the scene (which was spliced into their LPP) has similar shot-to-shot color shifts.
Yet I've also seen versions (late-70s VHS bootlegs, the Derann Super 8 print) where this color shifting doesn't occur, and the color seems more consistent throughout the shot.
So there were color differences between certain runs if prints, and probably between individual prints. The Moth3r bootleg has one shot of Red Leader go totally orange for no apparent reason, something I have never seen in any other copy of the film ever. And I remember mverta/Harmy saying that on at least one of the IBs, some shots in the lightsaber duel have a cold blue tint, and when I checked other sources like the Senator photos and the aforementioned bootlegs, those shots had a different color balance, closer to the other shots in the scene. (poita, do you know anything about this last one?)
