The Official: 3-Strip Technicolor on Blu-ray

[Areyakiddin]

To my eyes, 3-Strip Technicolor is the most beautiful color format. Great films like The Red Shoes, Black Narcissus, Singin' in the Rain, Gone With the Wind, The River and The Wizard of Oz are unforgettable not only for their fine performances, superior direction and wonderfully-crafted stories, but for their look.

There's something about those bright, saturated colors that's so pleasing to the eye.

The Digital Intermediate defines it best:

Technicolor 3 Strip

Technicolor is a colour film printing process invented in 1916. It was the most widely used colour process in Hollywood from 1922 to 1952 and celebrated for its saturated levels of colour. It was used most commonly for filming musicals such as The Wizard of Oz and Singin' in the Rain and used for Disney’s animated classics such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Fantasia.

"Technicolor" is the trademark for a series of colour motion picture processes pioneered by Technicolor Motion Picture Corporation (a subsidiary of Technicolor, Inc.), now a division of Technicolor SA. The process involved capturing the individual colour components red, green and blue on three individual black and white negatives.

[I've included blu-rays from different regions. Also, there are a few films included which were filmed in black & white but have 3-strip technicolor sequences or inserts. The Women (1939) is one such example]]
