The main fix for the green shift towards yellow is an increase in R-Y gain, which should be done as a linear matrix in the camera, as PAL and HDTV do. Unfortunately NTSC never standardized the new green and set makers each applied a demod change of their own choosing. While this fixed skin tones, it resulted in overdriving reds due to the nonlinear CRT gun current vs voltage.
