Sonochrome
 |
Sonochrome was a brand of Kodak film stock that was pre-tinted, but did not interfere with the optical soundtrack on the film. It was introduced in 1929 and was discontinued in the 1970s. Sonochrome stocks did not see much use in features after the 1930s, but were widely used in theater snipes (short advertisements) and special scenes in films.

There were 17 colors in the Sonochrome spectrum:
- Rose Doree

...and the non-color Argent which was a neutral density grey to keep the screen from going excessively bright when no color tint was used.
