I'm trying to recall if there was a trade name for tinted (pigmented) phosphors. These helped improve the contrast a bit under ambient light. If you look at such a tube under a magnifier, the phosphor stripes have a tint of the appropriate primary color when the set is off. I think RCA may have had some advertising term, but I can't recall now.
