When was color movie used for the first time?

>>
Technicolor was invented around 1915 as an additive process. The
first Technicolor feature was THE GULF BETWEEN (1917), now lost.
Technicolor became an additive system in the early 20s.

Was one of these "additive"s supposed to be "subtractive"? (if so, how?)

Yes, I meant to say "subtractive".

Technicolor System 1 = black and white film with red and green
registers taken simultaneously, combined on the screen through a
special double frame lens.

Technicolor System 2 = Toned (red and green) on thin film stock,
cemented together.

Technicolor System 3 = Imbibation process.

This involves the internal consumption of the byproducts of aging fruts and
grains?

Thank you for the pedantry. I obviously meant to spell imbibition with an "i".

Actually I wasn't being pedantic, the word (in the sense of "the absorption of
a liquid by a solid or gel" was new to me (and spelled with an "i" it sill has
the meaning of "the act of consuming liquids", according to google's
references. (Google has a dictionary search - the word "define", a colon, and
the word you're looking for)

Since you previously had only mentioned two processes, I thought you were being
funny.

Sorry for jumping the gun.

You have it partially correct. Imbibition is a process in which dye
is transfered to paper or film via gelatin sheets that are light
sensitive. Where light has hit them, the gelatin depresses, and vice
versa. What you have is essentially a printing plate to work from.
The dye never fades like Eastman does, and it's some of the most
vivid, sharp and solid color possible on film.

Amateur colour film, the Kodacolor process was launched in 1928 and was
very successful. This was followed in 1931 by Dufaycolour which as also
a resounding success. There were other processes.

However, it is the introduction of Kodachrome in 1938 that sets a
standard that is, IMHO, never beaten, except by itself.
