Colourisation is inference, not recovery. A monochrome negative never recorded colour, so a model is guessing from context — skin, sky, foliage and fabric all have learned priors, and the results can be striking.

It is also worth being clear about what that means: the colours are plausible, not true. Historical accuracy is not something a colouriser can offer.

What you get

  • Context-aware colour

    Skin tones, sky, vegetation and common materials handled from learned priors.

  • Adjustable strength

    Blend the colourised result with the original for a subtler effect.

  • Honest framing

    Presented as plausible colour, never as historical fact.
