The Technicolor product was very high quality. Most films mastered in Technicolor can be restored if Technicolor vaulted the original. They also worked hand in hand with the cinematographer and director, to achieve effects (de-saturation, over saturation, black and white with one pink or red flower standing apart, over blue to achieve what is called day for night etc,(de-saturation in MOBY DICK by John Houston) It's very difficult to shoot at night with very big expenditure of energy in lighting so many times they shoot in daylight, stop down 1 1/2 stops and add blue tint.
