Worf's Uniform 7th Season

[JayTheTrekkie]

I think its just the lighting during the filming of episodes.....making some uniforms look brighter or not so bright.

If the clothing doesnt look alike, it's not a uniform.

Try telling that to "Naked Now" through "Chain Of Command" Deanna Troi...

Here’s a very thorough discussion on the changing blue-teal division colors: http://www.startrekcostumeguide.com/p/tng-jumpsuit-analysis-misc-1a-colors.html?m=1

That's the way look at it now, perhaps in a few hundred years the concept of a uniform changes.

Maybe officers can choose the shade of their uniforms. Red, yellow and blue are the basic colours but everybody can choose some certain shade they want.

Perhaps there are few to choose from so all the unforms aren't the exact same colour.

If the clothing doesnt look alike, it's not a uniform. It would be like me calling mashed potatoes with splenda ice cream of the future. Yes, it is mushy and sweet but it just doesn't meet the definition.

Uniforms of the future....?

It is common to claim that the average male can not distinguish between similar shades as well as the average woman. In fact, just today I saw a television program where a boy could not find the right shade buttons to push while his sister could.

In heraldry, the main tinctures are the two metals, gold (yellow) and silver (white), and the five colors red, black, blue, green, and purple, and it doesn't matter which shades or hues of those colors are used. Thus different depictions of the same coat of arms will use different shades of a metal or color and nobody cares about it, because only the metal or color matters, not the precise shade.

In Vexillology, the study of flags, many national flags and other important flags have their descriptions including precise shades established by government regulations or even laws, sometimes even articles in the national constitutions. But the precise shades of many other national flags or other important flags are not mentioned by any regulations or laws.

I think that precise descriptions of flags in regulations and laws only began about a century ago. Before then - and still today when dealing with flags that are not precisely regulated - many possible shades of a color would have been equally good to use in a flag.

Many animals on Earth have different vision than humans do. Some have better color vision than humans, and some have worse color vision than humans.

Animals on other planets, including animals that are intelligent beings and people, will also have different color perception capabilities than humans. So Federation Starfleet members may have a wide range of color perception abilities.

So how should Starfleet react to the fact that Starfleet members may have a wide range of color perception abilities?

Should Starfleet react to that fact by decreeing precise shades for every uniform and insignia element?

Or should Starfleet react to that fact by decreeing that only the basic color of every uniform and insignia element matters, and that the precise shade is no more important than it is in heraldry?

Maybe whenever they take their laundry to the replimat, it creates a clone using only the material from the original, and the clone uniform suffers from what Pulaski calls replicative fading(ehh? Get it?). Then, once a year, each officer is allowed to exchange the uniforms for actual brand new ones.

It's like the 24th century version of a washing machine.

Picard's uniform could be roughly blazoned as Per chevron Gules and Sable, on a chief of the second four bezants in fess.

Of all the marvelous things they can do in the future, they still can't do a decent laundrey?
