Pathécolor

thumb|Pathécolor tinting on a print of ''Amour d'esclave (1907) Pathécolor, later renamed Pathéchrome, was an early mechanical stencil-based film tinting process for movies developed by Segundo de Chomón for Pathé in the early 20th century. Among the last feature films to use this process were Elstree Calling (1930), a British revue film, the Mexican film Robinson Crusoe (1954) by Spanish Surrealist Luis Buñuel, and Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine'' (1965), a parody of the then-popular spy comedy film trend.

However, the stencil process was not a color photography process and did not use color film stock. Like computer-based film colorization processes, it was a way of arbitrarily adding selected colors to films originally photographed and printed in black-and-white.
