In the States we actually had a color demarcation line, the fall of 1965. Only one network broadcast, some programming, in color previously, and that was NBC. In the fall of '65 all three networks went color. The Stones did Satisfaction on the first color Ed Sullivan for CBS.

Keith talks about a moment in his life when suddenly everything turned to colour and he viewed the world in a different way.
For me it was when I heard money for nothing by dire straits
What's yours?

In seriousness I think the change was quite litteral for folks of certain genertaions.
If you were a kid in the UK at the dawn of the swinging sixties, a world that had formerly been largely grey , brown & beige was suddenly full of brightly coloured everything !
The US probably saw this earlier than us... through the fifties, with all those pastel shades of red, blue & green turning up in decor, on cars [...and Fender guitars for that matter ]

The problem with IORR is there are just too many Yorkshiremen.

Yep - that was a good one. The 2nd gig I ever went to was Hawkwind at Torquay Town Hall in August 1972. I was on holiday with my parents and thought it would be fun to see this wild band. My mum queued up for me while I cam back from the beach and got horrified looks from the hippies in the queue.
Most of the audience sat down so I took my place - on my own - near the front of the stage. By the time they came on the air around me was green with mother nature's finest and sent me into a kaleidoscopic though slightly sickly state as they let loose their sonic attack on the audience. I'd never been high before and I felt like I was off on a voyage to the moon.
And when their dancer Stacia took her clothes off and gyrated just in front it was a moment I'll never forget.
BTW - went to that Leeds v Sunderland FA Cup Final and was in the Sunderland end. What a shock result as the Roker Boys won 1-0.

I was referencing (and paraphrasing) Python's "Four Yorkshiremen" sketch which was being quoted throughout.

I don't think that's quite right.
NBC promoted itself as "the full color network" for a number of years prior, but the other two ran some shows in color and some in black and white past '65. CBS ran Dick Van Dyke in B&W in 1966, as did ABC for Honey West (just some examples)
I think that 1967 was the jumping off year when the three networks all went full color in the US.
