the move kept changing colors

Sorry, but it was filmed that way - purposely.

Yeah, that is kind of distracting. I hadn't seen it in years and found it odd.

The changing colors are famous in a very negative way. Everybody on Earth hates them and they've been the subject of many critics ire. It was director Joshua Logan's idea to film some parts with colored lenses to heighten the mood; he of course, decided what color to use for each mood. No one liked it from the beginning.

What I don't understand, since it was such a radical thing to do and had never been tried before and since this was a very major film with a very big budget, is why didn't the studio make a second, true color version of each scene just in case. It's not such an outlandish idea; after all, they filmed two versions of Oklahoma (one in Todd-AO and one in Cinemascope).

By now perhaps it's considered film history, but I would like to see a version where the color-tinted scenes were computer-colorized to the color of the "normal" parts of the film.

Logan was assured that the tinted sequences could be corrected in the lab - however, because the film had been pre-sold and the opening engagements could not be postponed, Fox decided there wasn't time to do this.

In my case, self-absorption is completely justified.

Not just that the colours keep changing but that the scenes at times - or just an actor or tow- are framed with blurry edges of the colour.
