I don't know if this was ever discussed, but was there a particular reason why some scenes had the dark grey uniforms while the majority of the film had the khaki uniforms?

I don't have my copy right in front of me, so this might be a little inaccurate. She said something about wanting to change the suits a bit from the first film, and Reitman never being quite happy with the results. Most of the shots we see with the GBs in the darker suits were shot early in the production, which I'm guessing is why they don't show up more throughout the movie. The slime shell museum stuff was shot really early with the tan suits, but I'm guessing they were used since the darker suits would have been much harder for the film cameras to render in the night shots. Similar to the black Ectomobile issues in GB1.Gloria Gresham's anecdote is on page 149
...but Gresham recalls her efforts to rework the iconic uniform were trimmed from the final film for the most part: "When Ivan first called, he was already saying to me that he would like to see a new design, a different ghostbuster costume. I did different shapes, different colors, different fabric. Then we'd go to dailies and we'd look at it on film, and Ivan would say 'No, that's not it."I would like to see what these other costumes looked like.
