The CBS field-sequential color system did have one application after the 1950's: it was the system used for color transmissions from the Apollo moon landings.

If you watch footage of the Apollo 17 LEM liftoff from the moon, you can see color artifacts in the burst of fragments off the platform. Their motion is too fast to stay in the same color band.
