The "safe title area" used to be the inner 80% of width and height, but modern TV sets are much more consistent on overscan (usually 3% or so), so it's not as critical.
I think I have seen a picture of a viewfinder with the round tube outline drawn on it, but maybe someone who was involved with early color production can say yea or nay.
