PAL Gamecube with GCLoader on NTSC CRT

New to the GC Loader thing so be gentle lol.

Recently received a PAL Gamecube with GCLoader installed. I only have the NTSC composite cable for it. Is there anyway to get this to display in color on a NTSC CRT? I've got it forced to display 480i in the global settings so its stable but still black and white.

Is it just because its a PAL console on an NTSC TV or the composite multiout cable? I thought GCLoader/Swiss could get around that issue.

The ROMs on it are NTSC but display B&W as well

Yes I do know component/SCART cables exist for it, but I am trying to get it to work with composite without resorting to that. Thanks in advance

The built-in video encoder is incapable of outputting NTSC, so component is your only option.

The Pal Gamecube natively outputs RGB signal, in the US, it's the main reason to get one.
Is it that difficult to find a CRT TV with RGB inputs? Is it easier to get one with Component inputs?
RGB cable may be harder to find than a component solution, but cheaper.
