What color sock does the TOS crew wear? (Cosplay question)

The famous boot scene is in "Wink of an Eye." There's no helpful screencap in this album (I don't have my disks at the moment, so I can't watch the episode to see if there's a helpful frame):

In this screencap from "Shore Leave," it looks like Kirk had white underclothing below his knees.

But I can't tell whether it's socks, long johns, or something else, like for the wrestling around. It kinda looks like white long johns tucked into black socks (assuming both legs are the same), but I don't know. :shrug:

Nice observation. Filming dates Oct. 19-26, 1966, which were warm days according to Weather Underground - highs upper 80s or 90s. Too warm for long johns, even in the morning.
 
Guys, I am cosplaying this weekend (premiering my TOS outfit) and to complete my costume I need to know what color sock the crew wears. I am a stickler for detail and it would really bug me if I did not know the exact color of sock the TOS crew wear.

Any help would be appreciated! :beer:

They look blue here. Though that could be under the same lighting conditions that made the green shirts appear mustard or gold.

But here, though the brightness needs improving, they're black. My assumption is that since the women wore black tights/pantyhose as part of their uniforms, the men wore black socks.
 
Hmmm... The thread starter has a line through his username now. Has he finally been booted for all the troll threads? :techman:
