The difference between "a colores" and "de colores"

In Spanish what is the difference between "a colores" and "de colores" and also what would be the correct translation of "to print in color" and "The movie is in color"? The automatic translator uses "en color", but it doesn't seem right somehow. Thanks

"Imprimir en Color" is that what you got from the translator?

Hi laze, welcome to the forum. smile

Have a look at the definitions on the RAE:

de color. 1. loc. adj. Dicho de una tela o de un vestido: Que no es negro, blanco ni gris. 2. loc. adj. Dicho de una persona: Que no pertenece a la raza blanca, y más especialmente que es negra o mulata. Gente de color Hombres de color

O también

en ~. 1. loc. adj. Dicho especialmente de una película, de una fotografía o de un televisor: Que reproduce los colores. 2. loc. adv. Con colores. Garantizó que las fotos saldrían en color
