I recall reading an article in college discussing Superman, The Lone Ranger, & the Cisco Kid. All had color episodes. The article talked about the fact that Fredrick Ziv, I think the distributor, found that he could shoot 16mm color for about the same price as 35mm B&W. Thinking that there was going to be a huge demand color programming, he decided to shoot the shows in color.... way ahead of his time. I remember seeing all three shows in color on WGN on Sunday mornings back in the 70's.
Probably used a lower cost color negative stock as opposed to shooting high-end Technicolor.
