Ektacolor is one of Kodak's most historic color names — Ektacolor films existed as far back as the 1940s. Eastman Kodak revived this name in March 2026 to rename the Portra line under their direct distribution. The emulsion is the same as the Portra 160 — only the name changes with Eastman Kodak's return as a direct distributor.
