Mark Skarr Wrote:The funny thing about that picture is that, originally, I had Holly in a green dress (I can't stand the Star Trek Mustard color, so I drop it for a nice, deep green color), and Carmen in red (they're both blasters). Then I had my "Duh! D'oh!" moment. Holly's super name in worlds where she uses a code name is "Red Velvet" and Carmen's is "Blue Electron." So, they had to wear red and blue respectively.Interestingly, believe it or not, the 'gold' of Command on original series Trek was actually light green. Turns out the fabrics they used for the uniforms picked up the lights and washed the light green out to the gold color we saw on television. Kirk's 'informal' uniform wrap tunics appear more like the color the uniforms were intended to be overall.

(Note: be careful which Trek forums you go into looking for more information, as you get 'what color the costumes were' versus 'what color the uniforms were on television'.)
