ABC Password question

(1/3) > >>

PeterMarshallFan:
When did they switch from the orange set to the ugly pink and blue one? I'm not referring to the Password All-Stars set [that was good] but this set looked like the orange one but with said ugly colors on it.

AH3RD:
It made the switch on November 18, 1974.

I don't think the set was ever pink.  What you may be seeing is a video caputure of a kinescope that has turned pink.

 Not to nitpick, but doesn't kinescope imply that it was black and white, eliminating that possibility?

Kinescopes can be in color, too.  Remember, it's basically aiming a motion picture camera at a monitor, and filming the output.
