Legend
*Process: The name of the process as advertised by the company (alternate names in the "notes" section
*Year: Earliest known year of completion (based on patents, general announcements, film premieres).
*Projection method: falls into four, distinct categories, as well as how many primary colors were represented in the process:
Additive: Projected as black and white records on film through filters, thus recomposing color on the screen.
Subtractive: Color is printed on the film and projected as such.
Lenticular (additive): Color which is registered on a specialized film through thousands of minute "lenses" embedded into the base, opposite the emulsion. Film was shot and projected through a tri-color banded filter.
Mosaic (additive): An embossed screen is used to separate colors into "fields" on a black and white film stock. While either added directly on the film or on a lens, the projection is additive through a screen of the same embossment.
*Inventor: or inventors of the process.
*Introductory film: the first known public showing of the color process.
