They DO run a line of color bars. But one of the biggest problems of NTSC is that it was compromised from the beginning. It had to fit in the same space as the existing B&W system.
As a result the bandwidth of the chrominance was limited. The I components were limited to 1.5 MHz and Q is limited to .5 Mhz. Not much detail in the color. AND its not even symmetrical. How screwey is that???
NOW, in Japan they had an analog HD system called the MUSE which I've heard took a 12 MHz channel. So when color (and HD) came along ,they should have allowed MORE bandwidth than what the old B&W system started out with.
SO, even today we are stuck with the constraints of an old system.
