RCA was selling color at a loss for years, most sales were at introduction or when 21" came out in late 54. Most makes that had their own 15" set bailed or rebadged RCAs for 21" and the ~3 that did have their own 21" set either bailed from the market by the 1957/58 recession or in Motorola's case just keep selling the same 21CT2 model from 57 till designing a new chassis in 62. Zenith waited to see and waited long enough to see that the 50s were not a profitable decade for marketing color TV.
