color restoration
Bringing back vibrancy
Color restoration is the process of returning faded, damaged, or deteriorated colors to their original appearance.
The term applies most often to old photographs and films, where dyes degrade over time: The studio spent millions on color restoration for the classic musical.
It also covers artwork, textiles, and other materials whose pigments have changed with age or exposure.
