That's in color. Even Kansas is in color. A monochrome sort of
yellowish brown, But in color nevertheless.

As I described else-thread, the Kansas scenes were shot in B&W, but
printed onto color film with a sepiatone tint, evocative of old
photos. When Dorothy approaches the house's door, which she will open
to reveal OZ, that is the first color shot. However, the interior of
the house is lit in a flat yellow-brown, to match (sort of) the
sepiatone Kansas scenes.
Many prints, made after 1939 but before the advent of 'remastering'
and the digital revolutin, use B&W film for the Kansas scenes, without
tinting.

Yeah. I caught that after I posted.
I lived in Kansas for three years in the early 1980s and enjoyed
pointing out to my fellow Kansans that in "Wizard of Oz" Kansas
was appropriately in black and white.

Well, in the book, everything's grey. Hmm. Crops shouldn't be grey?
Maybe I need to check.

No crops; livestock.
