Default TV terminology question

If NTSC means "not the same color", does ATSC mean "always the same color"?

Any system of knowledge that is capable of listing films in order
of use of the word "****" is incapable of writing a good summary

This is an inviolable rule.

mostly pears.
Made With Pears: Pretty good chance that pears will be detectable in
the product.
Contains Pears: One pear seed per multiple tons of product.
