But to be clear: 99% of the credit for this process goes to You_Too and his hard work. So I figured I'd put together a little how-to that explains a) how to run the script, and b) improves on it in a couple small ways. His solution, however, only exists in a buried forum post and a now-dead blog post that, if you aren't versed in AviSynth and other tools, may sound like Chinese. Editing master You_Too (the same person who did the color correction on the fantastic Star Wars: Despecialized Edition) wrote an AviSynth script to fix some of the more glaring color issues. You can read more about the green tint issue here. Check out the video below, which compares Fellowship's Extended and Theatrical Blu-Rays, to see what the change looks like (watch it in full screen, trust me).

The extended DVD version of Fellowship does not have this problem, nor does the theatrical Blu-Ray version of Fellowship, nor do the other two Extended Edition Blu-Rays. It only exists in Fellowship of the Ring, only in the Extended Edition, and only on Blu-Ray.

The Blu-Ray version of the Fellowship of the Ring: Extended Edition has a significantly altered color timing, resulting in a green hue across the entire movie.
