I do recall seeing (in reruns) some CBS primetime shows in color prior to 1967. Sources I have seen put CBS daytime all color at the end of 1967. Since so few daytime episodes survive from that period, and the fact that some sources may not be accurate, it's hard to determine exactly when CBS daytime went all color. I do know that Concentration was the last NBC show to go into color. ABC daytime started colorcasts in 1968. As I understand, many ABC affiliates couldn't broadcast color until the early 70's. Unfortunately, most early CBS color daytime programs only survive as BW kinescopes.
