What was Maxwell's role in the development of color photography?

Maxwell is credited with producing the first color photograph in 1861. He used three separate black-and-white photographs taken through red, green, and blue filters. By combining these images, he demonstrated the principles of additive color synthesis, which is fundamental to color photography and display technologies today.
