The whole point of colorizing a film is so you won't have to watch it in monochrome. Recoloring an already colored film would be a waste of money.

Let's say you could make King Kong look like it was shot today with a digital camera, it would just look silly with the old "special effects" and in color (which btw would be just a guess of what it would have looked like).
What will look more silly, a 75 year old grainy b&w movie with 75 year old special effects or a movie that appears like it was shot yesterday with 75 year old special effects.
How do you want to impress people with a 75 year old movie if it's not the same movie?

Newsflash, dude: King Kong looks silly without all those enhancements. Decreasing the grain could at least impress people when you tell them it's 75 years old.

Oh come on! You would remove the grain to make it look modern and leave the weird colors as they are? And I didn't say recolor, I said color correct (which would only take a fraction of the time and money compared to coloring a b&w movie)..
