Kommandotuniken i TOS var faktiskt grön
Kostymdesignern för TOS var Bill Theiss:
William Ware Theiss - the designer of all the Starfleet uniforms and alien costumes seen in the 79 episodes of The Original Series. His elegant, daring and revealing wardrobe creations for the female guest stars on the series is one of the most memorable and iconic aspects of TOS.
Bloggen Startrekpropauthority har fulltext av en intervju med Theiss 1988. I den artikeln diskuteras kommandosuniformernas färg:
Another quirk involving the original series’ tunics were the colors - in particular, “command.” Trekkies everywhere will swear Spock wore blue, Scotty wore red and Kirk wore gold. Wrong. The three Starfleet colors were blue, red and green. Lime green, to be exact. “It was one of those film stock things;” Theiss states, “it photographed one way - burnt orange or a gold. But in reality was another; the command shirts were definitely green.” As further proof, look at the wrap-around tunics as well as the dress uniform tunics of Kirk’s – all green. They came off as their true colors because they were constructed of different materials than the standard duty command shirts.
Det finns en ytterligare artikel på kommandotunierna . Tydligen var det en förändring från säsong 1 och 2 till säsong 3:
For the third season of Star Trek: The Original Series; Starfleet tunics and dresses were fabricated from a nylon diamond weave double knit fabric that would not shrink during cleaning - which had been a persistent problem with the velour material used for the first two seasons. The actual Command tunic color used in the 3rd season was Lime Green; which photographed as Gold under the lighting conditions of the Desilu soundstage.
Här är några bilder av den vanliga kommandotuniken, från två olika foton (jag tror att det här är säsong 3 kostymer, bilder från startrekpautauthority ):
