it was definitely in Black and White. I was at the time back in the UK and well remember a dash home from visiting relatives in the early hours of the morning to watch the landing live,we made it, then twiddled our thumbs for ages before Neil could be seen coming down the ladder, I clearly remember thinking that the picture was very indistinct so that it took lots of imagination to make out what you were actually seeing.
I also clearly remember the words utterred by the late great Frank Muir who was one of a number of pundits brought in by the BBC to entertain viewers if and when things were slack.
He opined "that nearly everything the Americans did was on a vast scale whereas what the British did was usually half-vast". very few in the studio audience got it. Just say that to yourself
