Black&white films were meant to be seen b&w.
The cinematography was usually very carefully designed
to evoke emotion and create a mood.
Coloring them is a gross insult.

The system mentioned is very slick, you color in one image 
at the beginning of a sequence, and it processes subsequent
frames automatically, by identifying shapes and following their motion.

A much better use of the necessary computer time 
would be to touch up print damage.
