An europium activated oxysulfide phosphor represented by the formula Ln2O2S:Eu,(Sm) wherein Ln is at least one element selected from the group consisting of yttrium, gadolinium, lanthanum, lutetium and scandium is colored into red by mixing therewith a proper amount of calcium salt solely or together with strontium salt, and firing the resulting mixture at a temperature within the range of 1000 DEG to 1500 DEG C. By the firing, a CaS:Eu,(Sm) phosphor or a (Ca,Sr)S:Eu,(Sm) phosphor having a red body color is produced in an external portion of the Ln2O2S:Eu,(Sm) phosphor particle. The red colored phosphor thus obtained is used as a red emitting phosphor of a high contrast cathode ray tube for color television.
