So apparently it wasn’t just my eyes, there really is slight color difference between early DS9 and Voyager. The uniforms they made for Voyager were deliberately teal. Maybe it was less expensive that way. I still think the change makes them look cheap and washed out.
Anyone with the slightest color-blindness might see green instead of teal. And some episodes either have bad lighting or bad post-processing (like this meme), making them look green to everyone.
It reminds me of the gold uniforms in the first season of TNG using the most putrid shade of yellow known to man. It was very difficult for the production crew to keep them from looking brown on film. And the HD remaster of TNG fixing the bad color grading of the red uniforms making them go past maroon and look almost plum.
You just sent me down a rabbit hole of Memory Alpha and the various uniforms lol. This is unrelated (I just found it interesting), but apparently there’s even a desert robe uniform:
Apparently I really am terrible at picking up on subtle costume details. I never noticed that the robes they were wearing in “Shadows and Symbols” were Starfleet issue let alone indicated their division.
