Appendix D: Undetermined 2 color:

A system of color reproduction which the cataloging agency has not specifically identified in which the visible spectrum is divided into the blue-green and orange-red regions for recording and presentation. Although extensively used in early color film processes, the inherent inability of two components to reproduce a satisfactory range of hues rendered all such systems obsolete when three-color processes became readily available and relatively inexpensive.
