We tend to take modern technology for granted, as it is all around us. These things need time to develop and be invented.
The reason why the early films were in black and white, is the same reason as there was no sound.
It just hadn't been invented at that time.
At the same time as they hadn't got the technology to add sound to film, they also hadn't got the technology to make films in colour.
Sound came first and then colour.

∙ 9y agoColor was used in many movies, starting in 1939 with Wizard of Oz and Gone with the Wind. In the time of television, though, televisions capable of broadcasting in color were not available until the 1960s. Producers of live television had to be mindful of the colors of sets and clothing so that they would be clear on black and white televisions. By the mid-1970s, most shows were in color if the original film was in color.
