I believe Baird experimented with a 2-color electronic system in the 40's - have to go look it up. And there is a mention of a color system invented in Mexico, in their 1964 New York World's Fair brochure, which may have been 2-color.

Sometimes some of the very early two-color cartoons will show up on TV, but I have never seen one of the two-color live-action films televised.
