The multi-color card Superman is holding was, in the old 3 strip Technicolor days, called the "Lilly." It was held up in front of the film camera each time a new roll of film was loaded into the magazine. The color card or "Lilly," much like video color bars for setting up electronic color TV cameras, was used in processing the film and provided a guide for the color lab.
