I've never seen examples of a cyan imbibation as Lincoln has pointed
out.  Every occourance of Technicolor I've seen uses red and green.  A
muted cyan can be produced with these two colors, which often causes
confusion.  Another factor to confusion is the modern-day tweaking of
these colors, as exhibited in the recent MYSTERY OF THE WAX MUSEUM
release.

I HAVE heard however, that on occasion Technicolor had the ability of
changing the dyes to fit certain scenes (using a blue instead of green
dye during scenes where blue was a key factor).

Off the top, I know that Cinecolor used a cyan-blue bias in the
process, which gave a more natural hue.  Prizmacolor also used a
red/blue scheme.
