The actual history of color photography goes back to just after the
tintype process was invented. The first instance was a fluke in which
due to a pecular batch of chemicals a plate was exposed which had
dim color reproduction. Not long later, photographers were exposing
three color separations of still lifes, landscapes, and people who
were willing to sit very still. The first hand painted color in a film
was probably a 1901 french film about a trip to the moon which has a
puff of orange smoke.
