At RCA there was this story floating around about some of those early color TV transmission tests. One test was a broadcast of a bowl of fruit, including bananas. Someone took the bananas and painted them light blue. Light blue is the color you'd get if you rotate the phase angle of the chroma subcarrier for yellow 180 degrees. The guy at the receiving end would see the blue bananas and think that he had the chroma phase (tint) 180 degrees out of phase. He'd "correct" the bananas and then the apples and oranges and grapes come out wrong. He then calls the guy at the transmitting camera studio to ask about it, and he claims that things in his color TV monitor shows things as they look in the studio....
