The British spelling of Technicolor. In British English you meet it mostly in one fixed phrase: "in glorious technicolour". It means you see something in full, bright, unmissable colour on a screen — and the tone is usually playful or slightly . "There it was on the six o'clock news, in glorious technicolour." That phrase has drifted beyond colour. People now use it for anything seen or described in , uncomfortable detail — "he told us about his divorce in glorious technicolour". Nothing colourful is involved; "technicolour" is doing the work of "far more than I wanted". You will hear a little dry humour in it almost every time. As a plain adjective it works like the American form: "technicolour dreams", "a technicolour display", meaning , bright.
(英式拼法)鮮豔的、彩色的;片語 in glorious technicolour 意思是「一清二楚、活生生地呈現在眼前」,常帶點調侃,接近中文說的「看得一清二楚」「鉅細靡遺」。
組成The trade name Technicolor (technology + color), respelled with British "-our" as in colour, favour, honour.
