1935: Kodachrome reinvent colour photography

Invented in 1935 by Leopold Godowsky, Jr., and Leopold Mannes, 2 musicians working with Kodak Research Laboratories.
In the Kodachrome process, the colour was produced differently, not using dyes and startches during exposure but instead with a chemical process during the development stage.
This new technique produced colour transparencies that were usable for both projection and reproduction.
However process was so complicated that users had to send the exposed film to a Kodak laboratory for developing and it was not until 1954 that the company began allowing others to use the process.
In the years that followed Kodak continually developed the film making it improving its exposure speed, processing speed, and of course the quality of image reproduction. All of these factors soon meant that the price came down and Kodak was the No.1 goto for the amatuer photographer

1907: Autochrome introduced
By the 20th century, photography was a relatively simple process that many hobbist and enthusiast could do, but its lack of colour reproductiuon was its biggest drawback. Many methods starting to emerge to colourise images, from artists hand-tinting daguerreotypes and calotypes, but in 1907 the first commercially successful colour photographic process was introduced by The Lumière brothers. Their method, called autochrome, used a glass plate instead of plastic film. The plate was coated with light-sensitive chemicals and granules of dyed potato starch, which acted as a colour filter. The process resulted in a colour transparency (now known as a slide). However, because this was once again a positive image it could only be viewed using a light source, and, like the daguerreotype, it was not easy to reproduce.
