Yes, I have heard it referred to as color bleeding. However,my TV Tech Repairman has also referred it as blooming. I will add this note as well. This color bleeding isn't occuring on the retro shows that were made back in the days of this style of set. It is just more pronounced on the new broadcasts and even that it's not terrible. We will probably keep on using it the way she is.
