> The impulse to colorize monochrome photos goes back almost as long as photography itself

Impulse? A strange word to choose. Impulsive behaviour isn't what I'd aspire to, or want others to aspire to. Be thoughtful.

I was using it in the sense of definition 1b, a propensity or natural tendency usually other than rational: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/impulse

People have liked colorizing photographs for a long time, it's a natural tendency even though it may or may not be rational.

Who are you scolding and why?
