I doubt that it'll hurt the CRT to run it with the color too high unless it's also being driven at a higher brightness, (maybe if the color is so high everything is just glowing blobs of color it might be detrimental) running it at high brightness will wear a tube out faster just like running a car engine harder will wear it out faster.
It's harder on the both the Phosphor and the Cathode.
