Certifiably Ingame tackles the different Starfleet divisions and their uniform colors.
The amount of overlap between yellow, red, and blue and the number of times people change their colors is always interesting.
Side note: I hated Thomas Riker being in yellow. Yeah, I know that they put him in yellow to make it easier for the viewer to distinguish between Tom and Will, but I still hate it. The different rank insignia and beard styles was enough for me. Or maybe you put Tom in one of the early season jumpsuits with the division braid on the yoke to distinguish them.
Something that I wonder about is what Kirk's green uniform was supposed to represent. Was that uniform for missions under UESPA control?
One site indicates that the green was for special occasions, a sort of functional dress uniform. The same site indicates that the color change was because Stewart and Frakes didn't look good in the yellow uniform and the Data makeup didn't look good with a red uniform.
