No, the Zenith, Admiral and Philco sets were pre-color, and flooded into the market right after broadcasting started. There a few ads in that blog post - they're US B&W sets. It doesn't specifically mention any color receiver brands, but RCA had their grubby hands all over everything by then thus my assumption that they would have been the only receivers available.

All the publicity seems to be identical to the stuff I have seen that Zenith used in Spain around the same time, though by the time color broadcast started here they were selling their lobotomized NTSC sets that worked with PAL broadcasts.
