"Philcomatic" and Zenith's "chromatic" and RCA's ACM just seemed to switch in a second set of preset color pots. Great if you cant adjust color, you can return to "factory settings" despite the fact your set is aging and they wont be spot-on for long.

I think Magnavox used the "chromatone" switch as a selling feature in 1965-68 when many monochrome programs were still being broadcast. Maybe gray scale was harder on the eyes than a brown-red sepia tone.
