No, it was first shot in sepia-color, which is closer to black and white rather than full color.

CorrectionThe opening sequence of the film was made using sepia-color, but when Dorothy lands in Oz the film switches to full Technicolor. This was done intentionally for artistic effect. There was no "colorizing" involved!
