I'm reading "The story of Black" by John Hobby. I have one question.
It's about a phrase from the book.

" On celluloid, the switch between colour and black-and- white has been worked many times since Eisenstein abruptly jumped into colour stock for a late reel in Part II of Ivan the Terrible (1958) Often the switch seems simple and arbitrary, as when 'the present' is shot in colour, and 'the past' in black-and-white. "

What does "colour stock" mean?
