Don't be so hard on yourself-there are a number of sets from that era which can be very, very hard to tell from just photos. I well recall a late 60s Philco-Ford which sat on ebay for half a year advertised as B/W. Nobody would touch it, even though it was almost free. I finally wrote the guy and got a model number-looked it up and it was a color set! Then somebody else grabbed it...

In person I can spot a color set with little trouble, but when first starting out I had to look closer. There were times that I actually stared at the phosphor to figure it out!
