I have been watching an occasional old film on 81 (Talking Pictures).

This morning there was a short BFI B&W kids film on (The Christmas Tree), from 1966,
with kids involved in journey taking a Christmas tree to London. Rather oddly and
despite it being a B&W film, the tree's foliage showed up quite faintly as green. None
of the grass, nor the other trees showed as even slightly green.

I sometimes experience lemon tinted whites when watching B&W
films on a modern TV, say when a character is wearing a
white shirt - while all the other whites show up ok. Also sometimes
the sky has a distinct lemon or mauve tinge.

There's a way around it by altering the settings although offhand
I can't remember what it is. ISTR it may also be affected by the
viewing angle.
