There seems to be some combinations of game console/home computer and TV that just don't work right. Over the years I had a couple of different Rank Arena (NEC) 14" sets (forget the model number, delta gun CRT, VHF only tuner) - when connected to any Atari 800 computer the usually blue background on the default text mode would be purple and the default orange would be green. Both sets were fine with broadcast and the output from VCRs and other game systems. The Atari 800s produced correct colors on ever other TV I ever used them with.
I never really looked into the cause. At the time I was just happy to have any working color set and computer to play with. It's not like Atari graphics could be considered realistic, so incorrect colors was still better than B&W.
