James Clerk Maxwell, Scottish scientist, came up with the theory of color Photography in 1855. He said that if you took three photos of the same scene, one each through a red filter, a green filter and a blue filter, put the photos into three different projectors, and fitted the projectors with the same filters used to take the photos in the first place, you would get a color picture. He actually tried it. It didn't work all that well because photo emulsions in Maxwell's day were orthochromatic, or only sensitive to one color, namely blue. But he got a picture that was in color, and that's pretty cool.
In 1903, the Lumiere brothers introduced the Autochrome process. These guys dyed potato starch red-orange, green, and blue-violet, waited until it dried, mixed the three colors and applied it to a glass plate. They then put a black-and-white photo emulsion over the top of it. They started making it on film in the 1930s, and it remained available until the 1950s.
In the 1930s, the Germans invented "Agfacolor Neu" film, which was like the films we can get today, and the American inventors Leopold Godowski and Leopold Mannes (who were professional musicians as well as trained scientists) invented Kodachrome also in the 1930s.
Color photography was created in 1907.
Charles Urban and Albert Smith invented 1908 the first color movie. The movie is called "A Visit To The Seaside"!
