I clearly recall that those early colour broadcasts, even viewed on a monochrome set, had a spectacularly improved picture quality, with much improved gradation of tones. The overall effect was much more like a photograph than the older less defined TV pictures of yore.

Maybe it was due to little more than the benefit of brand new cameras, but I suppose that if you can’t get the luminance range right, you don’t stand much chance of natural colour rendition.
