...vivid day last week, the NBC peacock was the cynosure of every eye-fluttering peahen from the Bronx Botanical Gardens to Los Angeles' Griffith Park. On show after show, NBC's symbol of color television appeared, while announcers crowed about the network's Color Day, every show a bottled rainbow. For once the soap operas were literally purple, and even Huntley and Brinkley gave hues of the news...
...Borscht Sky. NBC once trumpeted its color programing with the argument (in an ad) that in a world without color, "pea soup would look exactly like borscht, and can you imagine London enshrouded in a borscht fog?"

...Color Day, U.S.A."- by NBC decree. From Continental Classroom (6-7 a.m. local time) to The Jack Paar Show (11:15 p.m.-l a.m., E.S.T.), a record 90% of the network's offerings will be in color...
