As anyone who has seen an old Technicolor film knows, it looks weird. Blue eyes look like they glow. Pink faces look like they've been painted peach. Red looks scary. It all looks dyed, not recorded... It's also why most early films nearly cause eyestrain — especially the famous film The Wizard of Oz I never found technicolor (The Wizard of Oz, in particular) to be terribly unnatural or hard to watch due to bad coloring. Is this a common perception? The colors in the film are quite vibrant and I wish I could have been in a theater for the original release to experience the big reveal from black and white to color. That must have been amazing for those that were experiencing color film for the first time. (this wasn't the first color film, but it was an early color film) I've seen the film in a theater, but I don't know how close modern prints are to the original release, maybe they've fixed up the color.
