Anyone here into Colorization of b/w photos?

Anyone here into Colorization of b/w photos?
I just started and I'm wondering if anyone else here has an interest in this.
Feel free to share whatever you have. I would be happy about some galleries with high res b/w photos, already know about Shorpy and this finnish military archive.

in the meantime I'll dump some colorized photos. can be a historical photos general, i guess.

Pre WW1 era was truly the height of Western civ

and what do you have against them

It looks so grand and dignified

...

How do they actually color these? Is it just speculation or is there an algorithm?

I like how some of the swimwear is just what a kid normally wears TODAY (i.e. a t-shirt and shorts)

bump for interest

western cities used to look so beautiful

painted digitally by hand. not sure if you can call that completely speculation, as far as I know these colourizers oberserve how modern photos capture colours and try to apply that to the old b/w photos.
