I've noticed recently that my AE 100 has been showing green one side purple other side - most noticeable in dark/washed out scenes, and in the black bars in 2.35:1 DVDs. Having read other posts here in the past on the issue, I was concerned at having to change the proj - its fine otherwise (fingers crossed !)
I was watching Bullit last night and got really fed up with walls which should have been cream/neutral showing up different colour tints on each side of the screen, and settled down for some tweaking - lots of capacity between ProV and proj (too much, if anything).
The solution (for me) is Contrast !!!! I reset the Prov's Picture menu settings and although the picture was a lot darker, and colours very saturated - skin tones looked gack - the blacks were actually black - not showing the tints I suffered from before.
The downside is that the picture is much coarser with high contrast, so I began to adjust brightness using ProV and then leaving ProV alone and adjust brightness on proj alternatively to get a clearer image. I also was able to reduce the contrast - there was a point where you could see the colour tint problem snapping back - and adjusted it a notch over that.
I have to say that the picture quality is otherwise not quite as good as before - in terms of colour accuracy and skintones - at least I don't think so, but I'll get my other half to have a look tonight. If I think its a fix I'll post the settings so you can check them out.

I'll have another check tonight to make sure
