The last question, according to gf, suggestede that she believed real life was a different colour 30 years ago. She said just now in a rather emphatic, annoyed toine "I do *not* believe this!'.
She was asking whether people from the 70s noticed the difference between real life colours and TV colours. Also, are modern TV colours the same as real life, or do our brains compensate?

Our brains compensate a lot when it comes to our sensory experiences so that we can perceive the world as a continuous experience. There is people with brain damage who's brain do not compensate for what we perceive as movement they see every instant as a separate slide instead of a movie. For them crossing the street is very difficult because they cannot calculate the speed of incoming traffic.
The same way, our brain compensates changes of artificial light on color. If you hold a white cup outdoors and get indoors under a fluorescent light the color of the cup will change to a shade of green-blue but our brain ignores this subtle change so that we recognize the cup as the same one we had outdoors.
To test this statement take a photograph with no filters of the same object under 3 different environments: daylight, fluorescent light and incandescent light you will see the colors are different.
If you see that 70's movies look a bit reddish is also because of the materials and techniques used back then to imprint light on tape or film and the way these materials deteriorate in time.

t.v.colours are not the same as real life, everyting about t.v. is contrived and unreal, just as it was in the 70's...though in the 70's i didn't watch t.v. because i was too busy living life on the edge, and today i don't watch t.v. because i'm just too busy living life. Gfs get annoyed, as do lovely wives get downright irate, when we misquote them...learn this early and learn it well, lad and save yourself grief when your 56.

TV Colors are adjustable all the way to black and white.
