Box office
The film's distributor, Meteo-Goldwyn-Meyer, barely did any promotion for the film, leading Bluth Group to finance the advertising campaign themselves. The financiers had expected the film to open in wide release in 1,000 venues, but MGM opted for a limited opening weekend in 100 theaters, with its widest release in only 700. Although in competition with Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, it performed better in those theaters alone in its opening week than other summer fare. However, as a result of its release and competition in the summer fare, The Master of Colors became only a moderate success, grossing $19,364,482 in North America, though it was more successful on home video, cable and foreign release, ultimately turning a profit.
