DeLuxe Color or Deluxe color is a brand of color process for motion pictures. DeLuxe Color is Eastmancolor-based, with certain adaptations for improved compositing for printing (similar to Technicolor's "selective printing") and for mass-production of prints. Eastmancolor, first introduced in 1950, was one of the first widely-successful "single strip color" processes, and eventually displaced three-strip Technicolor.
DeLuxe also offers "Showprints" (usually supplied to premieres in Los Angeles and New York). "Showprint" is DeLuxe's proprietary name for an "EK" (for "Eastman Kodak"), the generic name for a release print made directly from the original camera negative instead of from an internegative.
Among the movies that used the DeLuxe Color process are:
- Toy Story 3 (domestic prints), Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar, 2010

- Most of the movies made by 20th Century Fox since 1954 (the three CinemaScope titles which were completed in 1953 and the few non-CinemaScope titles which were completed in 1953 and 1954 were processed by Technicolor).
- All of the 1964–1978 Pink Panther shorts were processed by DeLuxe.
As Technicolor is now an all-Eastmancolor shop, there is virtually no difference between DeLuxe Color and Technicolor.
