The "teal" so far seems to just be in one scene. This film isn't a natural-looking film to begin with and there was no reason that there couldn't be teal or any other color in a print. Home video masters for many films over the years tended to neutralize such hues and improperly white-balance the image so what people describe as "natural" or "original" are usually not. Many films have been improperly timed for video and then those improperly timed masters are then used as a reference for future releases. I wish it were standard procedure to reference an answer print when doing a new master but it's sadly not and I find for myself that it's hard to go back to Blu-rays and even UHDs after seeing 35mm prints of the same films.
