There are several milestones in the introduction of color television.

The first demonstration of color television was carried out by John Logie Baird in 1928. He was also the first to demonstrate monochrome television in 1925 and using the same system of rotating discs for color television. The BBC were about to adopt his system for public broadcasting but used the monochrome version rather than color.

After Philo Farnsworth had successfully shown a fully electronic system in 1929, Baird put forward a proposal for an electronic color encoding system and this was published in 1939. His proposal was used as the basis for future color broadcasts.

In 1942, the US saw the first public color broadcast. The system was not compatible with the existing monochrome one and it was terminated only a few months later.

1954 saw the introduction of RCA's color system in the US. It was fully compatible with the monochrome broadcasts and this system has remained in use until today.

Britain was later to develop a color encoding system. Similar to the US NTSC system, the British PAL encoding avoided some minor issues of NTSC. It was first broadcast in 1967.

Other countries introduced one of the two systems in the years that followed although France chose a third system known as SECAM.

Yes you could if you were in America. The US began colour broadcasting in 1956 so colour television was relatively common by that time.
