Kinemacolor
An early additive color film system developed by George Albert Smith and Charles Urban, patented in 1906 and shown publicly in 1908. Its two-color red-green images had odd, shifting fringes around moving things.

- 02Limited orange-teal palette
- 03Colored halos on motion
Why it happens
Black-and-white film is shot through alternating red-orange and green filters and projected through matching filters, so the eye merges two records; fast motion falls out of register.
