GE also offered a "blue" crt in the 80's on high-line color sets. I have a brochure somewhere that I should scan; they called it Neovision. I seem to recall it was a hard sell because it looked so different. I think their TV commercial made light of that fact.
I had also noticed the color of phosphor stripes on some unpowered sets. Something else I learned today!
