If I remember, the older color cameras had problems with highlights in that the whites could often reproduce as color, sometimes blue or magenta (purple). I think the dynamic range of the older cameras was very limited.

I remember when I used to watch the Jack Parr Show on NBC Friday nights at 10:00 PM EST back in 1964. The set used RCA TK-41 cameras and when a guest would sit under the spotlights and interview with Jack Parr, their white shirts would, at times wash out to a slight purple or bluish color. It was minor but would show up that way.
