When was the first color photograph taken?

• 1861:In the early days of photography, dating back to the oldest surviving photograph taken in 1826, images depicted the world in black and white. It wasn't until 1861 that Scottish scientist James Clerk Maxwell produced the world's first color photo. Maxwell choose to take a picture of a tartan ribbon, “created,” writes National Geographic, “by photographing it three times through red, blue, and yellow filters, then recombining the images into one color composite.” Maxwell’s three-color method was intended to mimic the way the eye processes color.
