When the first color telecast arrived in January 1, 1954, I was 7. I didn’t see color TV until 1956 at my Uncle’s house. No one in my neighborhood had color TV in the 50’s. A grade school friends parents had a color set and I got to see it one time. Other then that and department stores were my only exposure to color sets and I was very interested. As I explained, folks would adjust color sets on display in department stores and they had green faced, over saturated color. If you saw the restored tape of an “Evening With Fred Astaire”, that is my recollection of what 1950’s color looked like. In the mid 60’s color quality improved compared to very early 50’s color sets.
I wasn’t exposed to professional monitors or TV engineers. I bet your Uncle was a perfectionist like yourself. :-) So ... I say to you, I never saw well adjusted color on early 50’s sets.
