Colour TV was widely available by  the late 1960s but was prohibitively expensive. Enter the TV colour screen—a coloured plastic sheet placed over the TV screen to simulate colour  The $1 overlay was separated into four bands: The top was  blue-tinted, the next orange, then yellow, then red. The strips were  supposed to blend together to create the illusion of colour  but all they  did was make faces look orange and grass look red.
