Actually there are three possible versons of y2K-something film. Pre 2004 Y2K2 (the lightest of all) will have wide bands of gold and purple, just like the ebay photo of current auction. Pre 2004 Y2K (not Y2K2) may have some gold, but will predominantly, usually show neon greens, blues, darker purples. That pre-2004 Y2K will usually be 25-30% lighter than Y2K2, but both weights (reportedly) came off same jumbo roll. Beginning in 2004, another Y2K roll became available, and was slightly heavier than the above Y2K, and therefore not as colorful--pale purple and pale greenish. That (2004) Y2K is essentially the same weight/color as OS film from Alan C, which is still available.

Others may have different opinions!
