I guess in some way this is all academic. Colorization mainly occurred when Turner thought he could make money by attracting new viewers to his classic collection. Now, the decline in filming costs would make creating new movies cheaper than colorizing old movies (unless some amazing software comes along that uses AI to do it cheaply). I don't really even know if any colorized movies have been released in the last decade.
Its a shame really because most people, who aren't used to it, have an immediate dislike for black and white. Humans are wired for color, we love fireworks, flowers and video games. The end of colorization will guarantee that the decline in interest in classic movies will continue until they are almost completely forgotten.
