If anyone could find some better imformation about it and stuff that would be awsome!!!

Answer 1

Technicolor in the form we are most familiar with was used from the late 1920's to the mid 1950's. It involved a complex camera that shot three strips of film at the same time using prisms to separate the colors. What the camera produced was one film in each of red, green and blue but shot on standard black and white film (color film as we know it did not exist for the movie industry until 1953). After the film was shot the process involved coloring each of the three films with the correct red, blue or green color using special inks and then combining them back into a single strip of film.

Answer 2

RGB stands for Red, Green and Blue. The amount of color of each mixes to create a technicolor. light red with dark blue with average green would produce a "sophisticated" color output. This makes every color or shade visible when filming.

Answer 3

Well according to that Artical it says that Technicolor originally existed in a two-color (red and green) system.

Sorry I can't be of more help.
