Kodak got into a lot of trouble over the color rendition of their films in that time period.
For one thing they refused to publish data about how the colors faded over time, and the truth was awful.
Wedding photographers were taking a good chunk of change to make a product that should last a lifetime and instead the prints faded quickly. Everything from the most ephemeral color snaps to art prints was affected, they didn’t make any product that would last unless you kept it in a dry freezer.
