Agfacolor (TM)

Scope note: Registered trademark for a series of color film products made by Agfa of Germany. Originally used for color photographic plates manufactured in Berlin in 1916. Agfacolor plates were made with tiny dyed grains of gum arabic or shellac. The fine-grains gave an intense color. Agfacolor grain sheets were introduced as rolls and sheets in 1932. A slide film, called Agfacolor Neu (or Agfacolor new) was introduced in 1936. It uses the subtractive color process to produce color negatives. Agfacolor printing paper that used a multilayer negative-positive process was introduced in 1942.
