color television
Polychromatic viewing screen
Color television is television that displays images in full color rather than black and white.
The technology became widely available in the 1960s and dominated by the 1970s.
Now that all television is in color, the phrase appears mainly in historical contexts or when distinguishing vintage sets: My grandparents still had a black-and-white TV when everyone else had color television.
