Colour film of 1927 London

Fascinating footage, even better after a weekend of wandering those very streets. Over 80 years later and some of the ambiance is unchanged. Magical!

Watch it through to the end and be rewarded with a coy appearance from Claude Friese-Greene the inventor of the Friese-Greene Colour Process. This entire piece of footage is a personal project of his to bring "the Colour of the Mother Country to the screen".

Oh and there's an adorable teddy-like pup at the very end for those who persevere.

Test your colour IQ


Follow instructions to see how good you are at discerning differences in hue, I scored a respectable 28. 0 is perfect. The image above shows my attempt and the analysis, I have more trouble with the blue/green part of the spectrum. Bad news for a Bowerbird who collects blue objects I suppose.

Share your scores in the comments please.
