If the colors are just someone guessing I would honestly not want to see it. I find those kind of wishful fantasies harmful

I think disclosure is high priority here. If you know it's been cleaned up, and colourized, then you can watch it as you would the original.

Because, what I think people are saying here is that older cameras already have made the equivalent of "someone guessing". The framerate is variable and jumps, the colour is off and variable, rhe film is degraded, and even the people in the films act quite unnatural, for they are very aware of being filmed.

I get what you mean about authenticity, but I think full disclosure takes care of that.
