Someone was probably working on it somewhere and it became available in the either the very late 1940's or early fifties. It was incredibally expensive and color qulity was poor. People had a greenish tint or a reddish tint but you could never get it just right. Keep in mind that in the 1950's a lot of US households didn't even have a black and white TV. I bought my first color set in 1967. It was a Bradford 13" portable that weighed about 200 pounds. The color quality was still poor and faded in and out all the time. The Bradford was the cheapest set I could find and it cost me $252.00. Today you can buy a much better 13" color portable for about $65.00.

∙ 16y agoColor TV didn't really hit the market until the late 40's and was very expensive. (Wasn't all that good, either.) So to answer your question, not very.

When did Peter Goldmark invent the color television?
Peter Goldmark did not invent color television. The first practical demonstration of color television was in 1928 by John Logie Baird. The color system he developed was not a commercial success. Goldmark worked on a version of color television in the 1940s with CBS. This version wasn't a commercial success either but it was twelve years after Baird's first model.

When was the televisions first broadcast?
The very first color television demonstration was in 1928. John Logie Baird, who had first shown off his monochrome television system in 1925 produced a full color version of it. It was an electro-mechanical system and was cumbersome. However, it demonstrated the principles of color capture and display that are still in use today. The 1940s saw electronic color television demonstrations but the first commercial color broadcast began in the US in 1950. The system used was not compatible with existing monochrome television and was considered to be a commercial failure. It was withdrawn in 1951. In 1953, the FCC approved the NTSC color standard and this was launched commercially in 1954. The system was completely compatible with existing television and so this marked the beginning of the move to color throughout the US. Europe followed suit with UK and Germany both launching color services in 1967. Over the following decade, most other countries began color broadcasting with just a few countries waiting until the early 80s to begin their own conversion to color.
