Why doesn't the ascension have color TV's?

Color TV was introduced to the US in 1953 (according to Wikipedia).

But throughout the series all we can see are black and white TV's. Is there an explanation (in universe or out) to why the state-of-the-art* spaceship has no color TVs?

I haven't got a screen cap but when the monitor in the bridge

its black and white. I would have expected it to be in color as it was produced in color.

_{* I'm assuming is was supposed to be state-of-the-art as the government would have put a lot of money into it..}
