Kodachrome's deep and vibrant palette has always offered endless color inspiration. For years, songs have been written about it and photographers have waxed lyrical about it.
However, since Kodak's decision to discontinue the production of the iconic film was announced, all we are left with is a look back at the film's unmatched quality in color photography.
The complexity of the film comes from the fact that the base was a black-and-white film that was coloured through a very detailed process.

I included examples of the film's early examples in my seasonal color inspiration research as nothing offers a more true and unique color than a photograph taken with Kodachrome.
Here's what Paul Simon has to say about it:
“Your Kodachrome slides may outlast your digital images.”
"Kodachrome, it gives us those nice bright colors
Gives us the greens of summers,
Makes you think all the world’s a sunny day, oh yeah!
I got a Nikon camera, I love to take a photograph
So momma, don’t take my Kodachrome away."
