colourisation
Chromatic restoration process
Colourisation is the process of adding colour to black-and-white images or film, typically using digital technology.
The practice became controversial when applied to classic films: purists argued it violated the original artistic vision, while others saw it as making old movies accessible to modern audiences.
British spelling of colorization.
