"Unusual colors" would include the generally poor shading of vidicon telecine chains.
Analog cable/satellite systems later got excellent black and white transfers of some syndicated programs (e.g., "Father Knows Best") but left the burst on, resulting in strong cross-color on fabrics and other fine detail. If I had watched those more, I would have been one of I'd guess a handful of people who would bother turning down the color on the receiver to get rid of it. This practice gave the only purpose I have ever thought of for having a color control that goes all the way to zero.
