Two-Color Technicolor
An early Technicolor system, first used in The Toll of the Sea in 1922, that recorded only red-orange and cyan-green. Its warm skin tones and limited palette defined color films of the 1920s.

Why it happens
A beam-splitter camera exposes two black-and-white negatives behind red and green filters, and the dyed prints are combined, so only the red-orange and blue-green parts of the spectrum are reproduced.
