recoloring
Altering the shade
Recoloring is the act of changing the color of something, whether physically or digitally.
A hairdresser might handle the recoloring of faded dye, while a graphic designer does recoloring of images in Photoshop.
The word covers both restoring original color and applying new colors entirely: The recoloring of the old photographs brought them back to life.
