Dorothy Fontana (I think) told a funny story about the #StarTrek TOS Orion slave girl and her green makeup.

No one had told the film editor that the girl was supposed to be green. So when he first saw the film, she wasn't very green at this point, he color corrected until her skin color looked better.

Director saw the result, and she wasn't green at all! So they redid the makeup to make it even more vibrantly green.

The film came back, and once again she was nowhere near as green as she was supposed to be, and he twigged what was happening.

But the Orion slave girl ended up greener than they'd started, in the final version, regardless.
