Film colouring changes the dynamics of the movie - it essentially pretends the movie is something that it's not - so by colouring a b&w film you make it look like it was shot on colour.

The same thing applies to the changes they made to the indy changes. One of the changes they made involved digitally removing a reflection from plexiglass that was in the movie. It was in the movie because at the time it was impossible to digitally remove, however movies today when they're shot can have those things digitally edited with the click of your fingers. For instance, in ROTJ there's a mirrored scene with the uniforms the wrong way around, and in the 2004 version they switched the uniforms while keeping the scene mirrored. Another example is in terminator 2 when a stunt-man drives the truck off the bridge - that scene is mirrored, and while they did digitally mirror the sign the truck drives past they didn't doctor the driver and steering wheel to the other side because they didn't have the technology, so instead they darkened the windows so you couldn't see the driver.

That is why it's like film colouring.
