Last week I scanned some earlier ‘70s color prints for my High School
group at Facebook and noticed most of them had green spots on the
surface that required restoration work via PS elements, an intensive
work for some cases. I think these green spots were caused by a
deficient process in the lab (they looked perfect when new) because
other color prints from the ‘60s and ‘80s did not show these spots and
they were kept in the same place. The yellowish/reddish cast was
fairly eliminated from the beginning via a VueScan option to restore
faded colors.

I became curious about the colors for some of my 10-12 years old 35mm
negs due to this experience and decided to scan/rescan a few samples.
I disabled the option to restore faded colors and scanned the negs,
Kodak Gold 100 taken with the Pentax P30t, Pentax A SMC  28-80mm zoom
during a travel to southern Brazil, these are the results:
