Technicolor

Technicolor is a film technology that produces rich, vibrant colors in movie imagery. Originally developed in the early 20th century, it uses multiple film strips or special color filters to capture and combine primary colors—red, green, and blue—creating a full spectrum of hues. This process results in vivid, lifelike images that enhance storytelling and visual appeal. Over time, Technicolor evolved from complex, labor-intensive methods to digital systems, but its legacy remains in the iconic, colorful look of classic films and the ongoing pursuit of cinematic color realism.
