My Battlestar Glactica still has spot on color. This one is printed on KODAK SP, and, if that is stored properly, will tend to hold up well.
Anytime I get a KODAK SP or Ole Eastman print with still surviving good color, I immediately put them in cold storage, as I'm sure that they won't stay that way long, for just the reason that you found out.
Now, in the case of my print of "High Plains Drifter" 2X400 Universal, it isn't a throw out yet, but it certainly has turned, but it was already on it's way when I first got it.
Interestingly, I just bought a print of "1941" 2X400ft Universal, and it has just the slightest shift of color, (that is, no absolutely perfect blacks, between black and the slightest brown), and this one, while the same Eastman as "High Plains Drifter" Also interesting, the Universal 8 logo on the near perfect "1941" is far more warmed, while the rest of the print is quite nice.
How has other peoples prints of "High Plains Drifter" held up? I bet, if there's has great color, it's on KODAK SP.
