You have to remember that the old analog PAL (composite) signal had to be compatible with monochrome & colour sets: To that end the Y component (B&W) uses the full 5.5MHz and 576 active lines whereas the colour difference components (R-Y and B-Y) sit in ~1MHz and half the number of lines because of the two line averaging process of the PAL system.

It works because the brain tends to make the fuzzy colours fit inside the sharper B&W images much like the colouring book of a child.

SD is able to give each individual colour a full bandwidth.
