Funny thing. For about 5 years now I manually adjust hue, saturation and other stuff to my liking for each product, because the colors felt bad very often. Now I am just waiting for an AI colorizer to watch "Schindlers List" how it was supposed to be.

Color design would not be a great choice for AI. It is not objective, and there are many, many "right" answers. It also requires understanding the intent and greater context of a scene. To grade the following scene, you need to have watched the Batman movie it references, know they're trying to sell jean jackets, and infer the client's preferences from their personality and previous projects.

"the way it was supposed to be" irks me too. You can't reify an artists vision better than they can.

I suppose I would watch a fan-recoloring. The movie would not be how it was supposed to be — it would be something new — but that could be something interesting to watch.
