I respectfully disagree. The lowlights are quite strongly purplish red, as a check of the histograms will confirm. Of course, it is possible that the TV images looked like this, but I suspect not, as the CBS system was capable of excellent color, as was reported to me directly by an eye witness to CBS demos, and stated in the press at the time, and has been confirmed (at least on the receiver side) by Cliff Benham's experiments.
