Depending on what the set is, you should be fine, as long as the yoke is plugged in and the anode wire is WELL protected (as Kevin said) from arcing to anything it might damage, or where it could give you a shock. Or just connect it to any CRT; color or B&W, and ground the aquadag coating of said tube to the chassis. That will dummy-load the high voltage circuit safely.
