History is never boring, never gray or unimportant, but old monochromatic photos can sometimes make it look less lively and exciting than it really is. Apart from adding extra dimension to the picture, color also builds upon the existing information on a picture. For example, did you know that the Eiffel Tower was initially painted in a brick red color to better protect it from rust, rather than the usual brown or ocher hue we usually see in modern pictures?
By recoloring old photographs, we can capture these types of differences and show a new side of the vintage photos we all know and love. Digital artists at Dynamichrome project decided to do just that and recolored over 100 historical monochrome photos with historical accuracy and amazing precision.
To view a select 14 of these wonderful transformations, click on the black and white pictures below and a recolored version of the same photo will appear.
