Total Automatic Color - 1969
Might be a little OT:
Magnavox marketed their Total Automatic Color
("automatic" Tint/Hue and Color control system)
starting in 1969.
Other TV makers followed with similar systems.
I think it'd be interesting to create images representing
how these auto tint/color systems actually distorted
the pictures, all the while making the pictures more
appealing to the average viewer.
IIRC, the Magnavox system had 2 settings (I guess if
the local station had sloppy engineering, the more
extreme setting could be used).
