Beber and kaosjm both describe seeing the blue-blanket scenes with more teal and/or purple, and the orange scenes having more yellow than orange. On page 2 there is a picture of kaosjm's notepad saying "teal Sarah hospital" and "Cyberdyne arm purple".

Beber is in France, kaosjm is in Texas. TylerDurden389 said he remembered the more familiar blue blanket, and the screening captured on YouTube seems to be more blue and more orange than what Beber/kaosjm saw.

Maybe it's not America/Europe, but something is up here. It could just be regular color variance between prints/print runs, I have no idea. I believe everybody here. I know photochemical development was not always accurate; I know there is an LPP print of Jedi out there where there is a blue cast in a lot of scenes, I think Team -1 says they have another one with a heavy green cast, but since it's LPP, those can't be chalked up to fading and have to be down to how the prints came out of the lab.

[It's said that no two prints look identical, but that doesn't mean every print varies wildly from every other - for example, I have seen two separate prints of Pee-Wee's Big Adventure that looked to have very similar color. They were at the same theater, even - I know they were different prints because I noticed a weird lab glitch the first time where there was some green-yellow image with visible sprocket holes double-exposed over a couple frames, and when I recently saw it again I did not see that anomaly. But that's all a tangent...]
