Multicolored vs. Technicolor

Multicolored- adj. having many colors
Technicolor- n. a process of cinematography using synchronized monochrome films, each of a different color, to produce a color print.

(Genesis 37) According to my study book, modern researchers have found that Joseph's coat was technicolor, not multicolored as it was originally believed.

What is the difference exactly? Back then was way before our modern technology. Should the prefix "tech" even be suggested of such an ancient Hebrew word? According to my oxford, technicolor was a cinematic style of layering film to create different colors on screen, so how does that apply to Joseph's coat?

I asked the folks at bibleinfo.com, hopefully they have some answers.
