I echo Steve D's characterization of 'deep' red on the CT-100. It is often a computer-generated graphic including text but also occurs in video from a camera.

Since the phosphors in a '53 display device (15GP22) controlled the colorimetry of the camera of the day (TK-40) and the same thing happened today with PAL and HDTV, and in between SMPTE in 1982 slewed the '53 standard for a more bright picture, what the dickens is feeding my CT-100 today? Is that 'deep' red we see something that would have happened with a TK-40 generating the video?
