So much depends on how a set is adjusted. Those early sets were capable of excellent color when adjusted right. In fact, more accurate than later sets because manufactures made changes that to make adjustment of fleshtones less critical- but also less accurate. I was amused that they would called such techniques trade names as "Accu-color" when it was really just the opposite. You could clearly see the difference when a consumer set was next to a studio monitor. There is also inaccuracies in the color palettes of both LCD and plasma TVs because they don't reproduce color exactly the way color TV was set up to work with the CRT color palette but nobody seems to worry about it. People are more concern with brightness than color accuracy. As long as it looks bright and fleshtones look ok they are happy.
