Chuckle. That was back in what we called Never Twice Same Color days. 
NTSC IOW. I'm a retired tv Chief Engineer and we as broadcasters always 
had a vectorscope in front of the operator so he could adjust the color 
if it wasn't right. Even if he was color blind! Human skin always has 
the same color and it makes an excellent image on the vectorscope at a 
certain angle. And it does not change that angle when the camera 
switches from my white caucasian face to the blackest basketball or 
football players, the difference is not the color, but the brightness.
A lesson I've had to demo to every colored person we ever hired by 
showing him both of us on camera.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
