A 2 colour TV system would hardly have been future proof. NTSC (also PAL and SECAM which ultimately derive from NTSC) all showed their long term potential. We've only recently stopped using them and they are still around in a lot of CCTV systems and legacy video connections.
In Mertz and Gray's famous 1934 paper in Bell System Tech Journal they make an interesting prophecy. See the attached image: "These idle frequency regions...." That's exactly where NTSC and PAL put the colour information.
There's also that immortal quote: "The horse always looked good".
