This is the color from the black square:



And this is what white looks like:



If you don't believe me, feel free to do the color sampling yourself.

I’m not ferociously fighting any good fight, I’m honestly asking in earnest for people who are expert at this to give me an assist. My understanding of transfers that have a blanket teal is that they have a very blue cast over the entire image, much like that example provided of The King And I. I’m just not seeing that in any of these images.

I have already acknowledged in a previous post that some shots look green. Some people have posted that this could be due to the lighting or possible colour choices by the DP.

That leaves shots like that one of Brenda Vacarro. There is no blue (or green) to be seen. The whites look white, skin tones look natural. Does that happen where only certain scenes are given a weird colour “bath”? Because my impression was that it’s usually something that affects the whole film, a la the yellow tint on The Good The Bad and the Ugly.
