I have a few very strong CRTs that do it as well, one is in a '75 all tube GE color set. The tube tests like new and has an infinite life test count but is red on startup. I also have a round color tube that does exactly the same thing. There is also a '68 Zenith with an extraordinarily strong CRT that also is green on startup out in the garage. Have you tested the CRT yet? If it tests well with good life test, I wouldn't worry about it. Your CTC 16 is looking great. Sometimes the guns "wake up" at different rates.
