In "The Making of Star Trek," it is pointed out that makeup coloring WAS, in
fact used to give Mr. Spock the appearance of a green hue to his skin, but
because the color mixing of the film when processed was so poor that you 
couldn't tell it.  This is also true for the color of Kirk's command shirt;
how many folks out there know that his command shirt is really GREEN, not
GOLD as it typically appears on most color sets.  Also, in the first pilot,
"the Cage" the green Orion slave woman went through an interesting process;
when they had an actress come in to the studio for color and film testing
of the green makeup, after each day's test footage was submitted to the
processing department, it would come back the next day and the girl in
the footage, which had been made up green, came out completely normal-color.
For about a week, this happened, made up green, the footage came out looking
normal.  The reason for this was the man in the labs doing the processing
didn't know she was SUPPOSED to be green, and therefore didn't know what to
do with a green girl...(there's a joke there, but I'll overlook it..) Anyway,
the lab just kept washing out the green to make her look normal. Once the
production staff and the make up department got their signals uncrossed, it
worked out fine....
