technicoloured

Brightly, artificially hued

Technicoloured describes something displaying vivid, saturated colors—from the Technicolor film process that brought brilliant hues to cinema.

The word suggests almost unreal intensity: a technicoloured sunset, technicoloured dreams.

It can imply garishness or psychedelic excess.

Also spelled technicolored.

Often capitalized when referring directly to the film technology.
