colorized

Given artificial hues

Colorized describes black-and-white film or photographs that have had color added digitally or through other techniques: the colorized version of Casablanca, colorized footage from World War II.

The practice emerged in the 1980s and sparked debate among film purists who considered it a violation of the original work's artistic integrity.
