From its earliest incarnation, Star Trek has used its distinctive uniforms to help stand apart from other science fiction epics. Over time, they became as important to the franchise as the phasers and transporters: particularly the unique “tricolor” patterns of red, blue and yellow. Every series has its own version, and the specific designs vary as a way of making each series distinctive.The colors themselves have very specific meanings, though that has shifted from show to show and from design to design. Most of the time, it sticks to the basic parameters set by The Original Series, with the colors designating different departments comprising Starfleet. But a few big changes have come and gone as the franchise has evolved over the years.The two Star Trek pilots — “The Cage” and “Where No Man Has Gone Before” — established the basics of Star Trek’s uniform colors. But the tones were muted and understated, and the rapid expansion of color TV in the 1960s demanded something that popped. The Original Series brightened the colors while formally distinguishing what each one meant: red for security and engineering departments, yellow for command and flight control, and blue for science and medical. The Kelvinverse reboot movies starring Chris Pine use the same color coding for their redesigned variants of the classic uniforms.RELATED: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Season Finale Is a Near Perfect Cliffhanger
