Black and White video

Hi I'm new to video editing and would like to know if a video shot in Black and White can be changed to colour?

The process is called colorization and it is extremely labor intensive. Essentially, every frame of the video must be colored one by one. Studios that do colorization of old black and white movies have specialized software to help with the selection of areas, assignment of colors, and tracking changes, but it is still very much a labor intensive operation.

Thank you very much Bob. The video might stay Black and White.
