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.
When I heard JJF on Radio Caroline, I was 13 years old. That did it ... life ain't never bin the same since !! ><

I think you're 100 percent correct, in what you say. Certainly for people of my age (I was born in 1955) ... the explosion of colour that hit you when you were say 10 to 13/14 years old (coinciding with the mid to late 60s) was very pronounced and very significant. I for one literally will NEVER forget that first ever 'hearing' of JJF. It was just SO different to anything I'd ever heard, that WOW ...... talk about an 'awakening' !! I remember where I was and what I was doing with greater clarity today than many of the things I did last f***ing week !!
Mind you ... some cynical b***ards would say that might have less to do with JJF and more to do with early onset senility !!

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.

ha, great story,............funnily enough, I was stared at in horror by hippies and bikers and head bangers at my first show (2nd really but the first one - the great "Xmas at the Patti" show [en.wikipedia.org] ..........didn't really count as I went with my older sister and sat on the side as a 12 year old) ......but my real first real show happened when I was at an army boarding school on the cliffs just outside Dover. We had to wear our school uniforms (blazers etc) everywhere, even into town.........This also applied to concerts.....about 12 of us decided to go see The Man band at the Leas Cliff hall in Folkestone in 1974. So, the picture was, band on stage, 12 kids in school uniform up against the stage and 2000 head bangers, some of who couldn't get over how we were being allowed to ruin the greasy, beery, acid packed, smoke laden ambiance........... ..........no fights but so many comments about being back in time for bed etc........
Another story (funny) from the south west.........I've got a friend here in Swansea who used to live in Plymouth (small one horse town in England then - for anyone not familiar) at the end of the 60s/early 70s.............anyway, she told me that one night they all piled down to this small club to see Pink Floyd......................
About an hour in the police raided the place............She told me that after the raid one of their friends had said "Oh, I saw them all (the police) getting in a bus about an hour ago".......
she said "Jesus, (as that club was the only place likely to be of interest to the cops on that scale)....Why didn't you tell us?............
Him "I thought they were going on a trip".............><

I was referencing (and paraphrasing) Python's "Four Yorkshiremen" sketch which was being quoted throughout.
Don't mean to be picky, but I'm a bit of a nerd about this stuff. NBC was not a full color network. The Man From Uncle was in black and white in 1965. CBS had no regular color programming, and hadn't even run color specials for a few years. (They had to use NBC equipment is why, since NBC/RCA had come up with the color compatible system, allowing color broadcasts to be seen in black and white on black and white sets.) If ABC had any previous color programming it was the animated Flintstones and the Jetsons. I didn't say all three networks went FULL color, but much of their major programming did, like The Lucy Show and Andy Griffith on CBS. ABC was the laggard, not making the popular Bewitched in color until 1966.
Talk about your favorite band.

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.

It wasn't a Stones moment, because I was never not a Stones-fan. I started listening and following them from age 5.
But a sonic boom would be James Chance & Contortions. Me and my friends were all big followers of that band. Them and James Blood Ulmer.

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

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]

Musically speaking...
"Satisfaction", 9 years old (my elder cousin told me they were the Stones).
"Never mind the bollocks", Sex Pistols, 16 years old (the same cousin again)
You can guess who's my favourite cousin....

And then there was this: Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color.
In the States every Sunday night at 7:30 between 1961 and 1969 (it ran in black and white between 1954 - 1961).
Walt Disney's Wonderful World Of Color Opening
And this one a later version, beginning in 1966 after Walt Disney died (who used to give episode intro's):
Walt DIsney's "The Wonderful World of Color" opening

And then there was The Beverly Hillbillies - Black and White (1962-1965) Color (1965-1971).
And Gilligans Island.
According to wiki:
"It aired for three seasons on the CBS network from September 26, 1964, to April 17, 1967. Gilligan's Island ran for a total of 98 episodes.
The first season, consisting of 36 episodes, was filmed in black and white. These episodes were later colorized for syndication.
The show's second and third seasons (62 episodes) and the three television movie sequels were filmed in color".
Hmmm...colorized? I recall seeing some of the first season episodes as black and white reruns when I was a kid...
