In the UK, BBC 2 was indeed the first colour television channel. It started in 1967 and used the new "high resolution" format of 625 lines instead of the 405 lines that had been use on the black and white broadcasts. Within 3 years, BBC 1 and ITV had adopted the new format and also began broadcasting in colour.

Although the broadcast format supported colour, only a few hours of colour television were broadcast each week during the 1960s. By 1973 the great majority of output was in colour on all three channels.
