A Vox explainer on how Technicolor changed movies. It traces the development of color film and how it shaped what Hollywood films looked like, with The Wizard of Oz as one example.

Submitted twice as a good short history of film color, and cited for the detail about the sepia house in The Wizard of Oz.

Another interesting tidbit about the The Wizard of Oz - the house in which Dorothy leaves the black and white world was painted sepia so the same Technicolor process could be used for the transition to full-colour. This excerpt from a VOX video explains: ▶ this video
