In 1962 there was only one TV channel in Sweden, and it broadcast in black and white. The station’s technical expert appeared on the news to announce that thanks to a newly developed technology, all viewers could now quickly and easily change their existing sets to display color shows.

Reportedly, hundreds of thousands of people were taken in. Actual color TV transmission only began in Sweden on April 1, 1970.
