Suggested correction: I really don't see much of a difference here. The sign is always green, and it doesn't turn brown. Sure, the tone looks a bit lighter in the second screenshot, but the colour is still meant to be the same.

Continuity mistake: In the 'Gaston' song sequence, near the end, Gaston is sitting in his huge antler chair with Lefou. In the wide shot, there is a bear rug behind the chair. The camera does a close up of Gaston, then in the next wide shot, the chair is on top of the bear rug. Also, after this, Gaston gets up off of the chair and in the next shot, both the chair and the rug disappear completely. (00:29:20)
