Your question makes assumptions that are incorrect.

Color films were made in France in 1902-3: Le Voyage dans la Lune and La Vie et la passion de Jésus Christ.

The first UK film in color With Our King and Queen Through India, is dated 1912.

The first feature color film made in USA was produced in 1916: Joan the Woman, and in 1917: The Gulf Between. The first Hollywood color film was made in 1922: The Toll of the Sea.

The Wizard of Oz in 1939 became a benchmark for color film, and in the same year, Gone With the Wind, won the Oscar for best picture, and was the first color film to earn this award.

In the late 1960s, color film became more of the standard for commercial movies, possibly due to its ability to draw larger box office revenues than black and white films of the period.
