In this thread, I'll go over specific screencaps from all six movies and try to figure out which LED color is closest to the screencap. Feel free to chime in and give me your opinions, as well.
*All Original Trilogy screencaps are straight from the 2004 "GL's True Vision" DVDs, not the "theatrical version" DVDs.
The Phantom Menace:
Trade Federation Droid Control Ship:
This one looks like a combination of Blue and Royal Blue to me.

Trade Federation Droid Control Ship:
Royal Blue.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/NightWing726/Lightsabers/TPM_2.jpg
Theed Courtyard:
Royal Blue.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/NightWing726/Lightsabers/TPM_3.jpg
Theed Hangar:
Somewhere between Blue and Royal Blue.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/NightWing726/Lightsabers/TPM_4.jpg
Theed Generator Room:
The Royal Blue coloring splashes everything in this shot.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/NightWing726/Lightsabers/TPM_5.jpg
Theed Generator Core:
Royal Blue, through and through.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/NightWing726/Lightsabers/TPM_6.jpg
Overall: Royal Blue.
Although none of my posted pictures show it, Obi-Wan's TPM saber has a thin blue or cyan layer right next to the core, with a Royal Blue edge. Overall, the Royal Blue luxeon is closest to that effect.
Attack of the Clones:
Zam Wesell's speeder:
Royal Blue.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/NightWing726/Lightsabers/AOTC_1.jpg
Coruscant nightclub:
I call it "Mystic Blue". Sort of a mix between Blue and Royal Blue, with a unique fading effect.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/NightWing726/Lightsabers/AOTC_2.jpg
Jedi Temple:
All the blue youngling sabers are a strong Royal Blue.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/NightWing726/Lightsabers/AOTC_3.jpg
Kamino Landing Platform:
The rainy background does some odd things with the color of Obi-Wan's saber. It looks more Bluish in these two pics.

Tusken Raider camp:
It's Blue here...
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/NightWing726/Lightsabers/AOTC_6.jpg
Tusken Raider camp:
...yet switches to Royal Blue only a few seconds later.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/NightWing726/Lightsabers/AOTC_7.jpg
Geonosis Droid Factory:
Ah yes... more "Mystic Blue"...
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/NightWing726/Lightsabers/AOTC_8.jpg
Geonosis Arena:
Plo Koon and Ki-Adi-Mundi's sabers look bluish...
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/NightWing726/Lightsabers/AOTC_9.jpghttp://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/NightWing726/Lightsabers/AOTC_10.jpg
Geonosis Arena:
...yet others look Royal Blue.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/NightWing726/Lightsabers/AOTC_11.jpghttp://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/NightWing726/Lightsabers/AOTC_12.jpg
Geonosis Arena:
Okay, these are just here for the cool factor.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/NightWing726/Lightsabers/AOTC_13.jpghttp://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/NightWing726/Lightsabers/AOTC_14.jpg
Geonosis Arena:
Royal Blue.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/NightWing726/Lightsabers/AOTC_15.jpg
Geonosis Arena:
All of the blue sabers in this shot look mystic blue.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/NightWing726/Lightsabers/AOTC_16.jpg
Battle of Geonosis:
Royal Blue.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/NightWing726/Lightsabers/AOTC_17.jpg
Geonosis Hangar:
Royal Blue.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/NightWing726/Lightsabers/AOTC_18.jpg
Overall: Tie between Royal Blue and "Mystic Blue"
Yes, I know "Mystic Blue" isn't an LED color, but that's what it is. It's basically a blade with less color than normal, which alters the way the blade looks.
Revenge Of The Sith:
CIS Command Ship:
This entire sequence is consistently Royal Blue

http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/NightWing726/Lightsabers/ROTS_5.jpg
^Man, I hated that guy. so glad he's dead. :D^
Utapau:
The color here oddly changes to blue.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/NightWing726/Lightsabers/ROTS_6.jpg
Outside the Jedi Temple:
Ah, but here we once again have Royal Blue. We missed you.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/NightWing726/Lightsabers/ROTS_7.jpg
Mustafar:
Once again, we have complete consistency. Royal Blue all the way.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/NightWing726/Lightsabers/ROTS_8.jpg
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/NightWing726/Lightsabers/ROTS_9.jpg
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/NightWing726/Lightsabers/ROTS_10.jpg
Overall: Royal Blue! Wow, for once Lucas actually pulled through and gave us a near-unwavering saber color. It's a shade lighter than straight RB, so a low-bin Blue luxeon should work great.
A New Hope:
Obi-Wan's house:
This one looks pretty bluish, with a hint of cyan.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/NightWing726/Lightsabers/ANH_1.jpg
The Cantina:
Somewhere between Blue and Royal Blue.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/NightWing726/Lightsabers/ANH_6.jpg
Millennium Falcon:
GREEN?!?!?
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/NightWing726/Lightsabers/ANH_2.jpg
Millennium Falcon:
Somewhere between white and cyan.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/NightWing726/Lightsabers/ANH_3.jpg
Millennium Falcon:
Very cyan-looking to me.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/NightWing726/Lightsabers/ANH_4.jpg
Death Star:
Royal Blue.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/NightWing726/Lightsabers/ANH_5.jpg
Overall: A very light Blue or Cyan for Luke, and Royal Blue for Obi-Wan.
The Empire Strikes Back:
Hoth rescue:
Blue, although it's hard to see through the background.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/NightWing726/Lightsabers/ESB_4.jpg
Battle of Hoth:
Blue.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/NightWing726/Lightsabers/ESB_5.jpg
Tree Cave:
Bluish-cyan.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/NightWing726/Lightsabers/f27bac7e.jpg
Tree Cave:
Blue.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/NightWing726/Lightsabers/192e4965.jpg
Bespin:
Royal-Blue.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/NightWing726/Lightsabers/ESB_3.jpg
Overall: Blue, although most of the final duel was Royal Blue. A low bin Blue should be just right.
Revenge of the Jedi teaser trailer*
Jabba's Sail Barge:
Looks multi-toned; difficult to tell. However, it has the signature cyan-core-with-dark-blue-edge that only Royal Blue has.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f252/NightWing726/Lightsabers/ROTJ_1.jpg
Overall: Royal Blue, but it's honestly just too badly drawn to know for sure.
*The blue blade was changed to green because, as the picture shows, the color washed out against the Tatooine sky, and became nearly invisible.
