There's a story of the Green Orion Slave Girl played by Susan Oliver. It seems that when applying the makeup, Green would turn to pink (skin colour) because nobody in the Lab had seen a Green Girl before and kept correcting the film to become skin colour. No one had any ideas how to deal with the film.

"Here's a story for those who may not be fully initiated into Star Trek.:
"When they were filming the original pilot, they had a hell of a time filming the scene with Susan Oliver having to be a Orion slave girl."
"Fred Phillips put green makeup on her, they finished up filming and then send the film for processing and clean up, but when they looked at the film the next day, her skin was just pink as normal. For some time Mr Phillips thought that perhaps the makeup was not recording onto the film well enough so he kept making her makeup a darker and darker green. "
"However despite all his attempts she kept coming back pink as ever. He finally went to the color Lab to find out what was going on. They received the film, looked at it, and went "my god, the woman is GREEN!"since it's their job to make people look the way they're supposed to, they simply corrected it, thinking was just simply a chemical error that was causing her to be green. Unfortunately until somebody informed them they knew nothing about the film itself and of the character. Luckily, somebody informed them and everything was well with the world after that."
I didn't know this even though I've watched Star Trek TOS. I'm into Star Trek Trivia.
This story sounds kind of suspect. Being shot on 35mm film, how did they correct her skin tone without affecting the color of the rest of the frame?
