Just a Kodak trademark I suppose. The even used the term for some B&W films, as
in "Verichrome Pan".

What about "chromes"?
That nickname came from Kodak's Kodachrome� and Ektachrome� film, from which
most 'slides' in the U.S. came, from a very long time ago... You knew that! <g>
Kodak has had a tremendous influence on the terminology in photography,
worldwide!
Is it chrome in the film (as it is silver in b/w neg film) or do the word
come from "chroma" as in colour?
