From a site called Cool Movie Trivia:

Without a doubt, most movie buffs will know that the first 'talkie' was Al Jolson's The Jazz Singer. However, the first color movie is a little more obscure. The most well-known movies to use color were The Wizard of Oz and Gone with the Wind, both from 1939.

However, pre-dating those classics by more than 20 years was a 1918 silent film called Cupid Angling. This is the accepted 'first' color feature-length film, and is also the oldest listed on IMDB as color. IMDB also has heaps of color shorts which predate even this, the earliest listed is from 1902. The actual first filming process was called Kinemacolor, and was invented in 1908 by a Brit named Charles Urban. The more well-known Technicolor corporation was founded in 1918. Prior to 1908, the 'color' movies produced were with hand-tinted frames painted by color artists.

[End of quote]

In The Wizard of Oz, the dramatic transition from black and white to color when Dorothy lands in Oz was the thrilling moment when Technicolor was introduced to theatrical audiences.

In 1895, Thomas Edison hand-painted Anabelle's Dance, a Kinetoscope motion picture.

Colors are not made. They exist because of the reflective property of objects. Black objects are only black because the reflect so little light, not because they were made that way. The first color that probably existed way white at the big bang.

Cupid Angling, a 1918 silent film, is considered to be the world's first full length color movie,

As early as 1902, short films were made and the frames hand tinted to create color
