Although the technology was around, only a few films were made in colour; it was expensive.
And the quality would have been nothing like as good as it is in that YouTube clip. I saw a little of the moon landings in 1969 - in black and white, with a grainy, flickering picture. Even "the woodentops" and kid's programmes were in black and white. It was expensive to make things in colour and not everyone could afford colour TV.
It wasn't the first thing ever shown, but there was great excitement in our school about being able to watch Princess Anne's wedding on TV in colour, in 1973.
You must have seen old black and white films and TV programmes; Laurel and Hardy, Charlie Chaplin, early Morecambe and Wise programmes or Crossroads? If not, look them up and compare the quality with modern films.
Whats this emoji for '

In 1969 I'd be surprised if they even had the technology to get to the moon let alone walk on it.
& whats that phone call all about from Nixon
