RCA stopped building color chassis for other makes in 1963...Once that happened and other makers were forced to build color sets in house gradually the companies with good engineering staff switched to their own designs. I think Admiral and Packard Bell were among the first. Philco waited until the later half of the 60s, but had a great product once they did.
The badge engineered store brands typically stayed RCA clone till the Asian imports took over.
