I think the line between "color" and colorized in old films shown on television and the net has been pretty much obliterated.

A lot of it seemed to be colorized to me, but a good bit of it seemed it could of likely been post-WWI hollywood or press stock shot in color or they had access to good quality original footage from that time to digitaly colorize it from.
