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.
