Related, here are some Autochrome images which worked on the same principle. Autochrome was patented in 1903 and hit the market in 1907.

What’s with the Brits and putting ‘’u’’in words like ‘’color’’ and ‘’labor’’? And why do they pronounce the word ‘’clerk’’ like ‘’clark’’?

I read somewhere that after the Norman conquest, when many among the nobility were French-descended, they started adding the “u” and changing other spellings to make the words look French. Other examples include cheque and centre.

Cannot be.
The world was black and white until 1943, when during the World War II war effort, the United States embarked on a intensive research effort to invent color. The navy realized that being able to see in color would allow naval spotters to recognize grey ships against the blue sea and sky more handily.
In 1944, the Pigment Project (as it was known) had a breakthrough and released color into the world.
Things have not been the same since.

Yeah, and they say ‘’Pentagon’’ as ‘’Pentagen’’ with the emphasis on making it a hard ''g'' sound. Weird.

Are they merely dead or are they really most sincerely dead?
