It turns out our son rubbed his chatter stones--relatively strong magnets--up against it (why? I've given up asking why the kid does anything) and that's when the colors appeared.
Because when he accidentally got them close to the screen it did such cool stuff. Oooo, more, more.
I doubt if, Dad's gonna be pissed but the screen's already fucked, entered into it.

I'll get over it--he watches more TV than I do!! But it seems to have gone away overnight by itself.

Stereo speakers did it to my TV. The repairman came out and waved a loop of wire in front of the tv screen. The picture looked like it was "pulled" toward the orientation of the loop. Then he moved the loop away, and the picture was back to normal. I always thought that the loop was a very crooked magic wand, but maybe it was magnetized, or was a degausser.
