if you have photo shop i suggest you make work paths and then turn them into a selected area after that just ad a color adjustment layer and play with the setting. i've done this before and it is very good but you should go to yahoo and type in "colorizing on photoshop tutorials" or somthing like that

The reason it's so difficult to transfer a black and white picture into a color one is that color, the extra three channels of information is always relative to both light and the camera used to capture it. The human eye is usually able to see more color than any camera is able to capture.
If you do have a photograph you want to bring from black and white into color, I would start with all the obvious references- if you can recreate the scene somehow, go back to the site where it was taken at approximately the same time and season, or find any of the original objects or people to inform you, use that as a starting point. From that point out, it would be a matter of using the "eyedropper" tool to collect a pallette and use layers, possibly with some kind of screening method, like multiply, or whatever works best for you.

While it's very simple to convert a colored photo to black and white it's not so easy to reverse. To make a colored photo black and white scan or download to a photo type software. Either decrease saturation or choose an effect called black and white. To make a black and white photo colored you may need to by hand guess the colors of each object and airbrush it in... but I don't really know besides that.

u jus have giv it to a professional photographer.
Else if you are well versed in computing then get a software like "Adobe Photoshop" and do it in your own.

Do you have the negatives for the pictures? If you do then a professional photographer can do it for you.
If not, I would still take them to a professional.

You could use Photoshop?
