There were some color kinescopes recorded back in the day. Color kines from the 15 minute shows of Dinah Shore and Eddie Fisher still exist, each recorded early in 1954 prior to the introduction of the CT-100. Perhaps this was done for purely experimental purposes, but it did prove that highly acceptable results could be had from the technique. Seems a shame that such an occasion as the final Milton Berle Show telecast complete with an Elvis appearance couldn't have been saved in color. Well...it could have, but nobody at NBC had the foresight to do it.
