I worked at a RCA dealership in the mid to late 50s. Though the technicians spent a lot of time trying to keep the sets on our showroom floor set up, it was an impossible job. Each network required a different hue setting. There was also variation from show to show on the same channel. Also, the color settings drifted during the day. At the end of the day each set had a different color picture.
If competent technicians couldn't keep the sets looking right, it is unreasonable to expect that customers could. The stories about "how unnatural the color looks, how hard it is to get the sets to operate properly" are absolutely accurate.
