Lowry's choices for how they balanced the colors (and possibly even the hardware they used to scan the film) produced magenta heavy coloring.

A small correction / nitpick - AFAIK the guys from Lowry claimed the colour "correction" was done by Lucasfilm, they had nothing to do with it

And yet that same magenta coloring is present in several of the James Bond films that they restored. I tend not to believe them. I do know that Lucasfilm did color correcting, but the core issues with ANH stem from the condition of the negative and how it was scanned, not what Lucasfilm did after that.
