Nelson,
Nice post there.
I think the colors (and especially the degree to which solids were used) was one of the distinguishing characteristics of several television shows of the 1960s. I actually prefer the solids (and the use of primary colors). I like them aesthetically and because to my eyes the background as a result is far less busy than what we often get with a show of today. Speculatively, I think it allows the mind to focus on something more 'stable,' if you will.
As far as Spock's Brain is concerned, those angles are one of the highlights of that episode for me. I've spoken about them a few times. I'm pleased that you thought they were interesting as well.
Enjoy The Paradise Syndrome. Part of the score has what I often refer to as the 'Bali High' theme (melodically). And in my opinion, you're right about that episode having one of the third season's better scores.
