color film

Color film captures images with layers of chemicals sensitive to different colors—red, green, and blue. When exposed to light, these layers react and create a record of the color information. During development, chemical processes amplify these reactions to produce a film that, when projected or printed, displays full-color images. The result is a more lifelike picture compared to black-and-white film, accurately reproducing the hues and tones of the original scene. Color film revolutionized photography and cinema by offering more natural and vibrant visual storytelling.
