Seems to me that folks on the West coast who spent hundreds of 1957 dollars on a color set had cause for complaint. I guess the sponsors wanted the largest audience possible and a delayed prime time B&W telecast to the Pacific time zone was worth disappointing the few viewers with color sets. I've seen the B&W Cinderella kine. It looks terrible now and I'm sure just as bad in 1957. The live color telecast must have been spectacular.
