Roger Deakins digitally coloured most of the movie to make it look like autumn.
If you have the DVD, there's a brief interview where he goes into some detail
about the process. Interestingly: the movie marks the first use of CGI by the
Coens.

was filmed in the conventional way then processed using digital filters etc
to give it the "old timey" feel same as "he man who wasnt there" which lso
looks beautiful but was originally shot in colour (here is a region 3 dis
with the colour version on it, though its not vibrant more like the colour
palette to oh brother)

Since this is a DVD newsgroup, I would presume you have the DVD. Just
pop that sucker in and go to the bonus feature called "Painting with
Pixels" for the full explanation.

No it isn't, think of the CG bowling balls and pins in the dream
sequence in The Big Lebowski, not to mention all the digital compositing
(and Jeff Bridges was digitally shrunk to make him fit through the
dancers' legs).

This is called a "digital intermediate". The entire film is scanned into
a computer, and then the color of each shot is adjusted. Then the movie
is recorded back out to film.

It's actually a case of the film business catching up with television.
For many years TV shows have been going through shot-by-shot to adjust
the color of the final edit, then recording the adjusted color back out
to video tape. But the technology to do so at film resolution used to be
too expensive. Now that hard drives are so cheap and processors so fast,
it is not a big deal to store an entire movie in digital form and render
the changes out.

Why? the movie is terrible.

Your post contributes nothing to this conversation.

I remember reading it was the first film to go through the whole digital
intermediate process. Is this the case? If not, which was the first one?

I beleive that is was the first major STUDIO release film, but I think
there were a few small independent films done first, as sort of proof of
concept. Sort of just how Lucas claimed the Star Wars movies were the
first to be shot with HD cameras, even thought they weren't.
