It was released on DVD in the United States as World War 1 in Color on May 10, 2005. The documentary consists of colorized footage from World War I.

World War I in Colour is a Channel 5 documentary series made with the cooperation of the Imperial War Museum, featuring all aspects of the land, sea and air war covered in separate programmes. Up until now, World War 1 had always been seen as a war that happened in black & white, but that was not the reality.
