The navy may not have problems with it, but I do! That's horrible. Ugh, my retinas are burning.

Solid, single colour base uniform. Dark or subdued colour for full duty uniform, lighter and less detailed for downtime wear, optional on off duty hours. But make it clear there's a dress code enforced with 4-5 standard outfits for each crew member.
Separate primary design for the officer and NCO portions of the crew that share an overall design aesthetic.
Medical, science and engineering to have specialised uniforms for specific conditions. Engineering day uniform lighter to allow an oversuit to be applied for unexpected repair work. Medical to have appliable coverings for low/no power conditions.
Separate Away team outfit for once, optional again with tactical, specialist and diplomatic variations.
All rank and ship insignia interchangeable additions to the arms, shoulders and chest of primary duty uniform.
Details for daily use on most such as pockets and zips etc.

Keep the three colors, but have distinctive uniform styles for security officers and medical people so they don't blend in with other departments - security stuff for security guys, scrubs and labcoats for medical people. Solves the "can't tell them apart and now I died in a crisis" problem, but doesn't overburden the visual look of Starfleet into Power Rangers territory, while adding a little bit of visual diversity to the background players/main cast. The skipper can wear green if it's flattering on him.
Should the phasers get a modern appearance or should it be modified from TOS versions?
Yer all wrong...
They're gonna use space suits...

It seems there are two big camps, when it comes to the colour scheme of the new uniforms. One group seems to prefer all black with at most small highlights in lighter colours, while the other group wants the uniforms to be more colourful. I am curious, who will get their will. A poll would be interesting about what you want and what you believe will happen.
Bring back the skant!
^^^ What the woman behind him is wearing looks interesting. If TPTB want to go in a different direction, that would be one choice.
Wonder what that would look like if she beamed down to a cold planet where it was raining.
Seriously, it looks comfortable, easy to move in in case of a hand to hand fight. More practical shoes and insignia would be required.

What I see in HD, is gold. It has always looked gold. That isn't something from Berman or the Encyclopedia, that is the way we saw it. And you, of all people, shouldn't be throwing around 'ignorant'.
Lighting and color correcting is going to change the actual color. There's always going to be differences between what's on screen and what's on set.
The whole world was in black and white back in the 'Gunsmoke' days. What we are seeing in older TV shows, movies and photographs is actually what it looked like. I learned this in Calvin and Hobbes.

Seems to me, the fact that they did film tests and the shirts came back looking yellow and they continued on with them looking yellow, means they were fine with the look.
They did look great on the show at the time. It looks a bit like a mustard yellow now, but I don't think they ever intended on the show appearing on HDTVs.
I kinda like Star Trek Online's "Odyssey" uniforms.
This would be my choice too. Or at least something like it.
It's interesting that in the photo, Bailey and Sulu's uniforms look slightly different shades because of the lighting or reproduction.Yes, in NTSC it looks more orange, but HD is still not green.
Yellow, not green.
I tested many different points on uniforms, and only point that registered as even slightly greenish was the extreme highlight on the lieutenant's shoulder. Otherwise the uniforms are solidly on the yellow and orange side, depending on the lightning.
Now, whether the actual physical shirts used in the filming were more green I don't know, nor does it matter, any more than it matters that Odo's stasis pod was actually a breadmaker. We saw yellow/gold, so that's what it is. Also confirmed in the dialogue.
The actual color of the prop fabric has been debated at length before.
