Color Still Pictures Inside Courthouse from Seasons 1-5? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Just wondering if there are any color still pictures or shots from inside the courthouse from seasons 1-5, and if anyone has one could they post it? Always kind of wanted to see what the inside of the courthouse looked like in color during those classic seasons before Barney left!

It's entirely possible it could've looked exactly like it did in black and white, except for the flag, maps and the wood grain of the desk and filing cabinet. Black and white shows often painted their sets to accomodate black and white photography. If you ever see the one "Perry Mason" episode in color you'll note the courtroom is still painted in shades of grey and black, a nightmare to watch with all the skin colors and red ties floating around!

I read once, many years ago, that they used purple a lot becaus it looked good in black and white. I think it was specifically about TAGS, but it may not have been.
The old show "Mission: Impossible" had a black and white room, I think the one Mr. Phelps is in while deciding which agents to use for that week's episode (He always picked the same people, didn't he.). The room was painted white and all the furnishings were black, white, black and white, or various shades of gray.
