Saw this in 70mm last week, an original 1986 print

Good, some print damage strong colour
Used the six channel mix, no teal coating but inconsistent colour scene to scene as it should be.
The only things you could call teal are scenes with florescent lighting, like in med lab and such.
the first breach of the colony is blue, like t2 at night blue but light.
The drop ship crash was more red/orange and neutral before the crash
White
Does it look like the BD?
God no, that is a uniform colour choice, this was effected by lightning
Just watching the regraded one from the spleen and its way too bright and the colours are miles off
The strip lights in the colony in the middle of the walls gave off a blueish green light as florescents do
The telling scene is the best in bed with newt in med lab the scene was super orange and lit by the heater and again way darker.
Ripley driving the APC shot from the left seeing the side of Ripley as she is driving in to save the marines is very red, deep red from the lights on the console for about two thirds of her body.
Ok the THX remaster on laser has the correct colours
Sure the colour space could be better, but it's spot on for the most part
There is a little too much megenta, but the florescents give off the teal look and so did the APC video displays when reflected on the faces

Sure Mike. I actually didlike that part of the THX LD, too purple for my tastes, especially compare to the 35mm trailer scan I saw, but that's what the LD looks like:
