From what we have seen from the Technicolor scans of Star Wars, there is some green tint, and DrDre has noticed a additional red tint, but in terms of contrast and saturation, the colors seem to very much match our other sources.

The two 35mm IB Technicolor scans poita has had done for our team have some considerable differences from our '80s Eastman dupe LPP scan, even when each is corrected to their respective print. As noted earlier, the techs tend to be more contrasty and are more saturated.

Well, the clips and images I’ve seen don’t really show that. I’m also comparing them to what I’ve been doing to restore the colors to both the GOUT and BR as well as reference photos. I see the color difference, but not the contrast or saturation. And from what I’ve seen, the other prints have some pretty serious issues that arise from the photo duplication process. You may be quite correct, but I haven’t seen it.
