Best Answer

Color television made its debut in the US in the early 1950s. It was a commercial failure and was withdrawn after only a few months. By 1955 a national standard for color television was agreed and RCA launched color services. The new color broadcasts and televisions were a rapid success and by 1956, sales of color televisions had grown dramatically.

The color standard used was called NTSC and is the standard definition color encoding system that is still used today, more than half a century on.
