No, there's more to it than just color. Checkout this chart: http://www.diffen.com/difference/NTSC_vs_PAL

Different vertical and horizontal frequencies, number of scan lines, bandwidth and sound carrier. PAL is higher resolution (625 vs 525 scan lines) so needs more bandwidth. Probably the circuits have enough range it can handle an NTSC signal though.
