We estimate the [ital CP]-violating [ital WW][gamma] and [ital WWZ] anomalous form factors, arising from [ital CP]-violating interactions in extended technicolor theories, and discuss their future experimental detectability. The electric dipole moment of the [ital W] boson is found to be as large as [similar to]10[sup [minus]21] [ital e] cm. We connect the [ital CP]-odd [ital WW][gamma] and [ital WWZ] couplings to the corresponding [ital CP]-violating electroweak chiral Lagrangian operators. The electric dipole moments of the neutron and the electron in technicolor theories are estimated to be as large as [similar to]10[sup [minus]26] and [similar to]10[sup [minus]29] cm, respectively. We also suggest the potential to observe large [ital CP]-violating technicolor effects in the decay [ital t][r arrow][ital b]+[ital W][sup +].
