The early Coloramas came from 8x20 in. negatives. As film quality
increased, the source shrunk to 35mm.
Some results of my searches:
1. A great "Photo Techniques" article from a man who wrote the book on the
Colorama history.

2. Here's what Kodak's site says
From 1950 through 1990, Kodak exhibited a grand
total of 565 18-feet-tall by 60-feet-wide backlit
color transparencies on the east balcony of New
York's Grand Central Terminal. Originally designed to
showcase the beauty and brilliance of Kodak's color
film, the display, called "Colorama," quickly became
a cultural institution.

I believe I read a long time ago that they were made by enlarging Kodachrome
25 slides. Weren't they rear projection? I think one was in Grand Central
Station.
