colour television

black-and-white television

Color television is television in color and black-and-white television is television in black-and-white. Also the etymology is very doubtful or would black-and-white movie be a retronym of movie because at some point in history all movies were black and white? -- Pedrianaplant (talk) 19:55, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

Keep for translations. —CodeCat 19:56, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

Keep: The terms may be idiomatic as they describe the colour of the image shown on the television and not the colour of the TV set itself. — SMUconlaw (talk) 03:16, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

Were the old monitors that had green or orange characters on black background called black-and-white? I know that they were called monochrome. DCDuring TALK 11:02, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
