And the same uniform colors as TOS, just with the red and gold reversed for different departments.

And I never have a big front window...on the bridge. If it has big windows it's a lounge.
TOS command was green not yellow!!!
Or a tower.
Nor does safe and sure. Plenty of sure things have gone straight into the ground. And yes, risky thing do as well. But remember the old adage, "He that dares, wins."
Not canonically. BTS information doesn't count
Bashier goes "In the old days operations officers wore red, command officers wore gold."
I understand that. I don't expect it from Hollywood at all.
Also, to tie in to our other conversation, I dare to have windows on my bridges!
That's always been my take on it, as well. How it looked onscreen was how it's supposed to look. And it looks gold. The fact that the material may look a different color when you examine it outside studio conditions is immaterial (ha, ha).Not canonically. BTS information doesn't count
Well no, I don't either. Hollyweird has no clue as to how the real world, or math, works.

Better stiffen your upper SIF. You're going to need it.
Well, I don't know how math works so...
Honestly, once the shields are gone it's pretty much lights out, window or no window. If I were honestly building a starship then it would have the command center deep in the center, with sickbay right next to it. But, in Star Trek? It's all about the shields.Better stiffen your upper SIF. You're going to need it.
This issue has bedeviled modelers for decades. What color is that really? The model in room lighting? The filmed version? How it looked on my color TV?
So the Smithsonian restores the 11 foot beast and the original color is gray, with a touch of green. BUT WHAT COLOR DO I PAINT IT!
Well, I don't know how math works so...
You have a future in Hollyweird.
♫ All about the shields, 'bout the shields. No structure. ♫
The Navy agrees with us. The real action is in the CIC far away from the bridge, or the windows.
I lived in California for 11 years. I'm good.
Yup.
But, in Star Trek? No issues.
The location of CIC though does not alleviate the need for a manned bridge--with all its windows--to maneuver the ship.
If I were designing a starship then the items that I would bury the deepest in the hull would be the primary, secondary and tertiary power supplies for the shields. As "The Ultimate Computer," "Day of the Dove" and TWOK showed us, a ship without shields is toast.
millions of eyeballs say you're wrong.
Talking eyeballs! 
Correction: The original (pilots era and command alternative) command was green. I am not toally for sure if it is a lighter green or yellow later.
Still referred to as gold and appeared as such on the screen. I understand that the material had a different look but it came across as gold, or green/gold.
Sometimes the phasers are blue, sometimes red.
It goes in the "who cares" bucket with that kind of stuff.
Phasers would be different colors based on their energy levels. A low setting would be red and a high setting would be blue.
