Answer 2

In North America, specifically the US, I do believe colour television was introduced in 1967 or 1968, then later into the seventies depending on the country. I remember in 1967 in Australia they ran an add for the introduction of colour television, however widespread use was not fully realised until the mid seventies. This was true of most everywhere, even North America. Hope that clears it up a bit for you.

Answer 3

1967 in television - PAL and SECAM colour standards introduced in Europe, with the UK's BBC2 the first in that continent to transmit in colour. In the USA,
1938 in television - DuMont manufactures and sells the first all electronic television sets to the public. Baird gives the first public demonstration of colour projection television.
1928 in television—Baird demonstrates a mechanical colour television system

he Development of Color Television
A German patent in 1904 contained the earliest recorded proposal for a color television system. In 1925, Zworykin filed a patent disclosure for an all-electronic colour television system. Both of these systems were not successful, however, they were the first for color television. A successful color television system began commercial broadcasting, first authorized by the FCC on December 17, 1953 based on a system designed by RCA.

"Between 1946 and 1950 the research staff of RCA Laboratories invented the worldφs first electronic, monochrome compatible, color television system." - From IEEE Milestone Plaque.

In 1940, prior to RCA, CBS researchers led by Peter Goldmark invented a mechanical color television system based on the 1928 designs of John Logie Baird. The FCC authorized CBS's color television technology as the national standard in October of 1950, despite the fact that the system was bulky, flickered, and was not compatible with earlier black and white sets. RCA sued to stop the public broadcasting of CBS based systems. CBS had begun color broadcasting on five East Coast stations in June of 1951. However, at that time 10.5 million black and white televisions (half RCA sets) had been sold to the public and very few color sets. Color television production was halted during the Korean war, with that and the lawsuits, and the sluggish sales, the CBS system failed.

Those factors provided RCA with the time to design a better color television, which they based on the 1947 patent application of Alfred Schroeder, for a shadow mask CRT. Their system passed FCC approval in late 1953 and sales of RCA color televisions began in 1954.

INVENTION OF COLOR TELEVISION - PART 1
By 1949, monochrome television had become a commercial success, 10 million sets had been sold, and programs were available to the general public. A change to color television would only be licensed if the color broadcast signal could also be received as a monochrome signal on these sets.

INVENTION OF COLOR TELEVISION - PART 2
The introduction of color televisioning using the CBS Field Sequential Color System had been a commercial failure in 1951, and the intervention of the Korean War, and prohibition on production of color television sets, let CBS gracefully withdraw.

History of Early Color Television
Color Television System Development - Colorcasting Development - Color Television Receiver Development

Monochrome-Compatible, Electronic Color Television, 1946-1953
In 1946, then, RCA committed to developing an all-electronic system designed to the same reception standards enjoyed on monochrome sets.

The Story of Color Television
The premier of Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color in September, 1961, was a turning point, persuading consumers to go out and purchase color televisions.

Answer 5

The "color standard" for American network television was first introduced in 1964, but it was several years later before everything was broadcast in color. As others have pointed out, there were "special" telecasts that were in color prior to '64.

Answer 6

The first color TV was invented back in the late 30's. They weren't used until the 60's and then in the 70's nearly everyone had them. Color TV first hit the US in volume in the 60's.

Answer 7

Neither...the 1950's.

"June 25, 1951: CBS airs color entertainment show "Premiere," including Ed Sullivan and Arthur Godfrey, in four cities. Transmission to small number of CBS-Columbia TV receivers, but existing black-and-white sets cannot receive programs without converter unit."
