Why didn't Theiss find a shirt that photographed green, then.

[Green Shirt]

Well the captain's chair and the console in the background look very different in color to what we are used to in this scan, i've never seen that parts of the bridge being bright blue before.

This scan from my printer was the best quality I could come up with considering what I have to work with, so its going to look somewhat funky. I don't have a program that would give me a high quality scan. The chair does look very bright and blue, but that could be due to the scanning process. But the shirt color came out very close to what was in the reel (taking into account how my printer scanned it, the color settings on my monitor, and my eyesight)

I just tried putting my reels in my View-Master projector, but while the images look quite sharp on a wall, my iPhone ends up with an overcranked image, picking up the light from the bulb. Not that it would help because, although my reels have been kept in their envelope over the decades, the command shirts on mine look quite gold/brown, and photograph almost yellow:

By the way, don't forget that the stereo photographer had to steal moments during rehearsals to get his shots. Check out Reel 2's image #3, "Tracy radioed Enterprise bridge", with Sulu and Uhura, and Nichelle Nichols has the script sitting on her lap.

A guy called Mark Anderson used a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi to photograph his reels:

On his image of Catwoman, he further explains:
"Viewmaster reels on a piece of 8 1/2 x 11 inch white paper, on top of a glass baking dish. The baking dish was elevated with a couple of boxes, and a Vivitar 283 set to 1/16 power was underneath, pointing up. A DIY PVC light tent was around the whole works, with a Vivitar 285 on full power on the top right. The 283 was fired with an Ebay trigger, the 285 by an optical trigger. Camera was a Canon XTi and Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens and a #2 manual macro tube. The lens was forced down to f/16 before putting it on the macro tube."

Was the uniform John wore on the cover of Sgt Pepper yellow or green?

 

[Captain Robert April]

A rather bright yellow with red trim.

Paul was in blue, George in orange, and Ringo in sort of a pink.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Hmmmmm

Were there any color transmutations with the fabric for sciences blue and security red?

IIRC some of the blue tunics have transmuted to a purplish over the years. Just like the green ones have faded to yellow (although some experts will deny this).

 

[Captain Robert April]

Hmmmmm

Okay, I should've taken longer in my Google search. Or gone the extra mile and pulled the album out and looked at it. So sue me.

Yep. In the lead-up to one to the anniversaries, they found a quite purple Starfleet shirt and were puzzled, but it had a scorch mark that exactly matched frames of a Spock hero shirt that had been deliberately damaged for a scene, so they knew it had originally been a blue one, but stored under different conditions to the others.

Just joking around. Found it intersting that John's jacket had a similar "chameleon" like ability. Plus the Beatles lyrics being quoted tied it all together.

Isn't George pointing at Paul's head because he was dead at the time?

 

[Captain Robert April]

That was just for tax purposes.

John's wears an in-between green and yellow chartreuse uni, just like Kirk's first year tuni.

Yesterday, I saw a box of Christmas ornaments: little flocked teddy bears. I thought of this thread. Some bears were a vibrant lime green; the others were a deceptive colour (avocado flesh?) that looked quite mustard yellow next to the lime bears, but appeared rather green when held alone.
