National Pana-colour wanted black-and-white to look outdated. Their two-page magazine spread featured sleek colour TVs against a backdrop of black-and-white sketches. The contrast wasn’t subtle.
By 1975, colour TV was a marker of progress. Advertisers knew some buyers were still hesitant, so they reinforced the idea that holding onto black-and-white meant falling behind.
The ad framed the decision as a choice between the past and the present. The world had already moved on. Your lounge room needed to catch up.
