One final note regarding the ENT jumpsuit division stripes: the actual colors appeared to (subjectively) vary quite a bit on screen, especially the engineering/tactical/security berry.
Sometimes it looked red, just as one would perhaps expect it to; for instance, compare Reed's division stripe to the red buttons behind him:
 |
| ENT, 4x9 "Kir-Shara" |
Now perform the same comparison again:
 |
| ENT, 4x6 "The Augments" |
 |
| ENT, 4x9 "Kir-Shara" |
Note how much more of a "berry" Reed's division stripe looks - even entering the fuchsia neighborhood!
Also note that the first and last examples were both from the same episode!
Here are some red/berry comparison screencaps of Trip's division stripes:
 |
| ENT, 2x15 "Cease Fire" |
|
 |
| ENT, 3x3 "Extinction" |
|
 |
| ENT, 4x8 "The Awakening" |
|
 |
| ENT, 4x9 "Kir-Shara" |
|
One may also draw an interesting comparison between Trip's berry division stripe and T'Pol's civilian outfit:
 |
| ENT, 4x3 "Home" |
 |
| ENT, 4x4 "Borderland" |
Note how close Trip's division stripe appears to be to the color of T'Pol's outfit!
The medical/sciences green also appeared to shift a bit back in the teal direction toward the end of the show:
 |
| ENT, 4x9 "Kir-Shara" |
 |
| ENT, 4x9 "Kir-Shara" |
|
 |
| ENT, 4x16 "Divergence" |
|
This may have simply been a shift in the lighting or post-production color correction in the show, though.
Anyway, if there were any actual color shifts in the division colors over the course of the show - or any color inconsistencies at all, for that matter - it would hardly be surprising, considering how many bolts/rolls of fabric must've been bought, ordered, and/or custom-dyed over the years!
