It was mostly marketing. The deal was if you go ahead and buy the black and white model, it could be updated later to a color set. There was a conversion where you would remove the old chassis, face plate and CRT. Then replace it with a new color CRT, face plate, and chassis. I have never seen one that was converted, but I'm sure someone likely did it. Given the reliability of our CM set of the time, it would have been better to just buy a new color set and be done with it.
