2-Colour Kodachrome
- PART OF:
- The Kodak Museum Collection
- Made:
- circa 1930
One frame of silent 35mm positive 2 colour Kodachrome film showing a woman wearing a blue coat with fur and a white cloche hat, walking in a courtyard with rose bushes.
Two-Color Kodachrome was the first successfully printed subtractive color process. At best it produced beautiful results, comparable, if not better, than many of the more well-known two-color processes of the time. Despite the expense and time put into its development by the Eastman Kodak Company, it never proved a commercial success. Its costly, complex and often imperfect printing was not suited to large-scale production.
