Maybe on REALLY old color ones like my ctc-5 it works, on those the picture just plain ain't very bright to begin with compared to the mid-60's pic tubes, so usually you can't crank the brightness up high enough for the low contrast to wash it out that much, because it will start blooming anyway. Or even if it isn't blooming, it might start if something realy white comes onscreen, so you have to crank the bright down even a little more.
