The commercial and critical success of those films led both major and minor studios to use Cinecolor as a money-saving measure. The system could produce acceptable color pictures at a fraction of the cost of Technicolor such as MGM's "Gallant Bess" (1946), Columbia's costume adventure"The Gallant Blade" (1948), and Eagle-Lion's Red Ryder westerns. Most features made in Cinecolor were westerns because the main color palette in those films consisted of blues, browns, and reds and so the system's limitations were less apparent.
