[net.tv.drwho] Costumes and Color Perception

scs@wucs.UUCP (Steve Swope) (01/17/86)

    I'm looking for help in a matter of color perception. My wife and
I share an interest in costuming, and have in the works various frock
coats, scarves, cricket sweaters, and what-have-you. Among the projects
we'd like to tackle are:

	1: Romana's outfit from "Destiny of the Daleks"
	2: Nyssa's outfit for the better part of the 19th season

    The problem is, we can't quite decide what the colors are supposed to
be. The Romana outfit could be either pink or lavender, and the Nyssa outfit
could be brown/tan, plum/burgundy/cinnamon, brown/burgundy/gold, or something
else entirely.

    Therefore, if any of you have strong opinions about what the color scheme
really is (for either of them), please send E-mail indicating what it might
be (my E-mail address is given below). Of particular interest are the
observations of those of you who have seen it broadcast or played back on
PAL equipment, since I'm told the color fidelity is better in that format.

    If there's sufficient interest in this admittedly esoteric topic, I'll
summarize to the net. While we're at it, are there other people out there
who are interested in the costuming end of things? It might make in
interesting topic for discussion/debate.

AS the sixth Doctor has shown (and John Nathan-Turner) has shown
color has NO meaning.  It is all in the design.

P.S. Can anyone tell me how Peri got on the TARDIS???
     I've seemed to have missed that one.

Peri got on the Tardis by bieng carried there (by Turlough (sp?))
after he saved her from drowning.  Part 1 of "Planet of Fire."
