+1 better results than most and it doesn't look as fake as most colorized b/w pics.

for simple coloring technique I use "color replacement tool" in "brush tool".

First, I have to select the area I want to paint with color, whether using "quick selection" or polygonal lasso." Then, I pick the right color using "eyedropper" to or from another picture with human face and do the paint.

Still need some further adjustment such as opacity or even blending mode.



have your try.

I've seen people do this, from B/W to colour, just saw a picture of Rocky balboa done this way, amazing how it turned out, looked more like a painting though than an actual picture
