It's not the same because we can physically see how Elsa's emotions are tied to the spikes and storm, but we never actually see the color of Elsa's palace shift from one to another. It changes from scene to scene, but the the position of the sun in the sky also changes during those scenes. And actually, the foyer is slightly yellow in the moments leading to Elsa's flight to the top floor. Secondly, if Elsa can change the color of ice, why is it never mentioned in the script? Aside from some inconsistencies, it is incredibly faithful to the film. If you're so set about this, then look through your books. If Elsa can change the color of ice, it should be mentioned somewhere. I know the script mentions Elsa controlling the storm, and I'm sure your book does as well. If changing ice color is a part of her power, I don't see why it wouldn't be mentioned. I'm not opposed to the idea Elsa can manipulate ice color, but it needs a source since the film does not provide definitive evidence that she can.

We don't know if the scratches came from her fear. Like you say, it could have been from Marshmallow. If we don't know the whole story, we don't put it. There are shadows in the ice walls during Elsa's pacing scene, I'll give you that. But we don't know if it's frost, so if you put it in, say shadows unless there's a source.

Luckily we've sorted the mountain issue out :)
