Was there color photos in 1941?

Yes, color Photography existed in 1941, but it was not as widely used as black-and-white photography. The first successful color process, Autochrome, was developed in the early 1900s, and by the 1930s and 1940s, other color films, such as Kodachrome, became available. However, due to higher costs and technical limitations, color photography was less common for everyday use during that time.
