Sorry for the delay in replying, but I just saw that this party is still jumpin'! :)

Thanks! I use a standard paint program for all my proof-of-concept tests. The process is exactly as described above. Those tests can be replicated, hopefully, in Avisynth (freeware) for video processing. If Avisynth's built-in processes don't handle it, usually a 3rd-party plug-in (also free) will. I've never gone that far with the above Disney's Zorro test ... yet.

@ jedi_jra & colorizedfan
BTW, those are excellent lists of colorizations! I'm green with envy!

@ larkofam & jerryshadoe & Space Hunter M
I'll try to work up an Avisynth script on still pictures (which would work the same as on video streams).

I know, I know ... I have the same problem with SilverWook's TV alert!

@ SilverWook
Thanks for the broadcast heads-up! Unfortunately ... I don't get it (literally).
I thought Disney had put this "back into the vault" years ago. I hope someone's saving it all ...
