Color set owners must acclimate themselves to times when faces suddenly go green or saffron, figures bloom with fluorescence, and backgrounds become crimes against nature or interior decoration. With amazing docility, most color set owners accept these hazards uncomplainingly. Some even boast of learning how to tune their sets as a real accomplishment ; color tuning was an intricate, five-dial operation on RCA's earlier sets, is now somewhat simplified as a three-dial maneuver. Said one Connecticut set owner: "After a while you get used...
