I love how nothing, but NOTHING, brings out some of the best posters on this board like another installment in the case of Gold v. Green.
A matter of Color.

Perhaps no one cares for the opinion of someone who is colorblind, but to me, the difference between a very yellow green and a very green yellow is almost trivial. That said, in the arts the question of color cannot be divorced from the interaction of material, media and light. If Theiss wanted a specific green, he made some seriously rookie mistakes. Conversely, there seems to have been no rush to correct them. To that end, the color of the uniform is what we see, not what Theiss intended.

It's because the Kirk green wraparound is AWESOME.
Yes. That's the first story that I linked to above.
Sorry Jonny, but at least that means I didn't imagine it!
If there literally was such a directive, that specified they should use green, then the green-to-gold material could have been a deliberate choice to get around it. "We gave them their green, but oh look, it photographs as gold."

"Gold v Green... sounds like a case for... Denny Crane..."
Perfect cadencing too! How they have never had Shatner reunite with Spader on The Blacklist is beyond me.
Years ago I asked on the bbs why Theiss -- if he and some ptb wanted green -- didn't see some dailies; buy some new cloth, re-dye, and end up with green appearing on film. The answer I got, and I believe it, was that it was a lot of velour and screen-worthy costumes ain't cheap. I buy that.
But from the quotes above, it seems clear that he and tptb desired green. Also note the S3 polyesters were green and photographed greener. Another piece of evidence for original intent.

Umm they still look gold to me. What are you watching that they looked greener? I'd go with a darker shade of gold, brownish if anything.
Where does Randput her Communicator or Phaser?
Kirk and Spock hide their Communicators and Phaser Ones under their shirts...
One of lifes great mysteries
I can believe that, too. And by the time replacement costumes were needed, the yellow shade had grown on them because it really did look good.
If you're watching the remastered TOS episodes, note that CBS Digital chose to shift the color toward green electronically to fix what they thought was the problem of yellow-gold uniforms.
It's still not as bad as the debate of Green vs. Purple.I love how nothing, but NOTHING, brings out some of the best posters on this board like another installment in the case of Gold v. Green.
We're people, too!
Thank you. I am reminded of a conversation with my wife when we discussed painting the bedroom. I said, "I have an opinion about color." She retorted, "No, you have an opinion about hue."
Ahhh. B5. Gotcha. Never much of a fan for whatever reason although it had some interesting ideas.
Thats actually fairly trivial in digital color-correction. You specify a color range you want to change and the software only alters the pixels in that range.

Except that the photographs up-thread from the exhibit show that they were very yellow-gold looking.
