The colorist read the instructions wrong.

IIRC, one of the lead animators on TAS really was color blind.

IIRC, one of the lead animators on TAS really was color blind.

It's true that Hal Sutherland was colour blind, but according to Animator Bob Kline, the use of pinks (and greens) was not because of him, but Irv Kaplan.

According to Bob Kline, "Pink equals Irv Kaplan. Irv was in charge of ink and paint, coloring the various characters and props (and he would do it himself in his office, he would sit down with a cel and paint it). He was also referred to by many people there as the purple and green guy. You'll see in a lot of scenes, purple and green used together – that was one of his preferences. He made dragons red, the Kzintis' costumes pink. It was all Irv Kaplan's call. He wasn't listening to anyone else when he picked colors, or anything." (Star Trek: The Official Guide to the Animated Series, p. 26)

Yes. Kill that myth with fire.

(Also: Alexander Courage did NOT leave Star Trek over Roddenberry's lyrical shenanigans. He wrote for ALL THREE SEASONS and orchestrated several movies. Including the one Roddenberry was on.)
