Yes, yes they did. Color wasn't a 20th century invention.
Fireworks have been around for over a thousand years, with origins dating back to ancient China. The earliest fireworks were likely invented by Chinese alchemists searching for an elixir of immortality. These early fireworks were used for entertainment and religious ceremonies before spreading to other parts of the world.
The first European to master fireworks is believed to be Roger Bacon, an English philosopher and Franciscan friar who lived in the 13th century. Bacon's studies and writings on alchemy, chemistry, and natural philosophy contributed to the advancement of fireworks in Europe.
The tradition of popping fireworks on New Year's can be traced back to ancient civilizations such as the Chinese and Europeans, who used fireworks to celebrate and ward off evil spirits. Today, it is a common practice around the world to mark the start of a new year with colorful displays of fireworks.
Americans commonly refer to fireworks simply as "fireworks."
