Early color quality was not equal

[ceebee23]

Of course one thing about Star Trek and other early colour shows is they had to look ok in B/W so all sets (and costumes) were designed with a wide range of grayscales to ensure that they looked ok for the majority of viewers who watched in monochrome...as for Star Trek sets now ...mmmm yuck ...

I do recall reading somewhere that some NBC affiliates had trouble with the original Star Trek because they kept trying to get Mr Spock's flesh tone right.. not realising at first that he was supposed to have a slight gree tinge! LOL
