There was also AccuColor Solid State....AccuColor was usually used on some of the last tube type RCA color sets and AccuColor Solid State on some of the modular sets just before the XL-100 designation came out.
I believe the first ColorTrak chassis I saw was, I think, a 25" CTC81 from '76. There was also the 19" CTC74. These chassis would fold down for service and the sets were heavy as lead. Two of these that I ran into had ultrasonic remote control with a motorized varactor tuner.

I also saw a couple of late '70's RCA consoles that had "XL-100 ColorTrak" plastered on them! I'd forgotten about that until just now. I think that may have been the CTC92 chassis.
