I believe it was region specific. The larger cities and more affluent areas had many more color sets - look at all of the sets found around Chicago.

At that time, '72, our clan had a late 60's truetone color tabletop set on a cart.

I believe we also had a couple of gifted b/w consoles, specifically an Admiral and an RCA.

I remember my friends as having only one color set in their households, but all of them had smaller b/w sets.

Around here I believe the turning point was in the later '70's. Seems like most families had more than 1 color set, and I remember color sets beginning to far outnumber the b/w's at the retailers. Coincidentally this is the time that cable television made its appearance in southern Illinois.
