Here is another sample of conversion to the "correct" color.
Here is the original (with the darker trans-blue windows):

Here is one with the trans-light-blue color corrected:

In this case, I think that the "incorrect" (i.e. dark blue) original
actually looks better. The second one is definitely more indicative though
of how this would look in real life.
