I do find this realm fascinating, though I have to admit I also have a deep passion for the earliest Kodachrome film, and early colour photography as well. I’ve gone to great lengths to digitize early Kodachrome film, and would LOVE to see the advances of modern colourization applied to film. This particular example of Halloween, 1932 that I digitized would be fascinating to see in colour: https://youtu.be/Fwqwv1LbSx8
I am not averse to colourization at all, and I both Kickstarted the book The Paper Time Machine at Unbound https://unbound.com/books/paper-time-machine/ and have also invited the man behind http://www.canadiancolour.ca/ to speak at the Vancouver Postcard Club.
I also follow Imbued with Hues on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/imbuedwithhues/ and am fascinated by the results, with the occasional critique of a colour choice or hue. But the criticisms are IMHO outweighed by the impact that colourized images can have to connect us to early 20th century history. The more accurately that they can be determined, the better. I will concede, respect for Black and White is an equally valid point of view.
