The two-colour motion picture process, Kinemacolor, was invented by the British film producer, George Albert Smith (1864-1959), and patented in 1906. It was taken up by the American entrepreneur, Charles Urban, and became the first commercially successful motion picture colour process. Urban formed the Natural Color Kinematograph Company in 1909.
