Technicolor

Technicolor
  the trade name for the best known color film process; 3-strip color is often used as a synonymous term; also used generically as a term for rich, bright, vibrant, sometimes garish colors; Technicolor films were described as highly saturated (with pure and vivid colors); Technicolor (a 3-color dye transfer system) was introduced in the Disney short cartoon, Flowers and Trees (1932) This new process in the 1930s involved a camera that used prisms to split the light coming through the lens onto three strips of black-and-white film, one each for the primary colors (red, green, blue; with complementary color dyes: cyan, magenta, yellow)
