They really need to rethink their uniform colors. Command Red is pretty straight forward.

If there's a security threat and you go rushing down the corridor, you'd wanna know if the Gold tunic you come across is a security officer or a someone who only works on EPS conduits.

You inadvertently brought back a rare disease from the away mission and are covered in a crazy rash. You'd wanna know the Blue tunic you see is from medical, a botanist or geologist...

    That's basically the same idea as what navies do on aircraft carrier decks: each role wears a different colour basically head-to-toe.

    In this case, I think the colours should be more reserved for operational duties - command red, bridge orange, medic green, engineering purple, combat/security black, etc. and anyone else not in an operations role would wear a navy blue and their specific role could use insignia like atomicbocks commented in a sibling to this comment

    In TOS they had a different emblem in the center of the patch that later became the combadge. In fact originally each ship was going to have a different patch, though you can only see this in like one episode. Though this image doesnt show it I have also seen a Red Cross used for the medical emblem.
