When was the first color TV demonstrated?

The first color television was demonstrated by John Logie Baird in 1928. It was purely experimental but showed the principle of using red, green and blue images to create a color image. The first commercial use of color television was in 1953 in the US. Although it was launched as a commercial service, the take up was poor. The new color system was not compatible with the existing black and white broadcasts. In 1956, RCA launched a new color television service that was fully compatible with the black and white services and that color system has remained in use until today. In the UK, color broadcasts were not started until 1967 when BBC2 was launched in color. Although the color encoding was slightly different to the US version, it has also remained in use until today.
