The very first color television was made by John Logie Baird, the man that also demonstrated the first black and white working television system in 1925. Not content with seeing his development used by the BBC in England to broadcast the first public TV service, he went on to produce a color version. His creativity was impressive but the technology of the day limited his color television to experiments.

In 1939, he produced a proposal that set out the future of commercial color television and high definition images. Although it was left to others to deliver commercial color television, his proposals were one of the triggers for the development work.

Color television was first broadcast publicly in the early 1950s but it was in 1954 that NTSC color signals were first broadcast as part of American network television services. The same color system remains in use today.

In the UK, color broadcasts didn't start until 1968 using a similar but incompatible color encoding system.

So take your pick of dates: 1929, 1953, 1954 or 1968.

How does color television impact society?

Color television made a large impact on American society, in that it changed the way and the amount of time people watched their favorite television shows and purchased new color TV's. In the beginning only the well to do or people with money could afford to have a color television, so it was a bit of a status symbol to have a color set.
