  • That's pretty neat. I wonder if they had to switch sets because backgrounds for black and white shows used exaggerated colors to improve the contrast.

    • I remember how mind blown i was when I saw that photo & learned that red shows darker than black in b&w film. So cool

    • And, of course, people remember how bright and colorful the set of the original Star Trek was, and the costumes, too!
