I had the misfortune of being in D.C for the '73 Nixon inaugural and while it was all in color, NBC was so short on equipment/facilities that they had the WRC-4 mobile unit on the Mall down by the Washington Monument (with firture White House Press Secretary Ron Nessen...)... Lots of protest marches going on that day, as I recall. Including the "last" anti-Vietnam War march which was down by the Tidal Basin.
I'm sure Ed Reitan can give more details as to when the first inaugural telecast in color was.
