colourise
Make it chromatic
To colourise is to add colour to black-and-white images, especially photographs or films: The studio colourised several classic movies from the 1940s.
The process, once done by hand, now typically uses digital technology.
The practice remains controversial among film purists who consider it an alteration of the original work.
Also spelled colorize.
