Timeline of the introduction of color television in countries and territories

This is a list of times at which nations, and some subnational divisions, had their first color television broadcasts (transmissions available to the public). Non-public field-tests, closed-circuit demonstrations, and broadcasts received from other countries are not included. Also listed are the dates when the last black-and-white stations switched to color or ceased non–color-compatible transmission to black-and-white receivers; these are in red type.
