#2I call bullshit. How would it be possible? I have two bets how this can remotely work:
1. They use some newly discovered, color dependent property of original negatives, but the following quote debunkes that:
> If you have a ready-made files of black and white image or video, color recovery process will be much faster.
2. They use machine learning.
Well if they use machine learning then they just teach the computer how to do colorization and produce plausible results. It's not retrieving the original colors. It could be still a good idea though.

The people over on reddit's colorizedhistory subreddit do such a marvelous job. If it were applied to film, it would be fantastic. Of course, it's too hard to do every frame. But perhaps an artist could color one frame of each scene, and software + machine learning can deduce the coloring of the rest of the frames of that scene.

Walter if they explained how it worked then the gullible wouldn't buy.

I have to agree. The total lack of technical explanation is suspicious to say the least.
Also the 'recovered' color of Carole Lombard’s picture on the home page contradicts the one in this page http://www.solargreencolor.com/about_solar_green_color.html

#8Wait, how did they find the original color of a fake picture (the giant grasshopper, or "gracehopper" as they call)?
