or hire a painter
that does painting from a photograph.
Even as 'recently' as my younger days if you wanted a coloured photograph
you had to go to a specialist who would carefully colour the picture with inks
applied with lots of skill and patience.
The story goes that a family decided to have a World War 1 photo of a
family member in army uniform reprinted and coloured. Discussing the project
with the artist, the daughter asked if her father's uniform cap could be
removed in the restored photo. The artist agreed but asked 'what colour
was his hair' I can't remember was the girls reply - but surely you'll see it
when you remove his cap!
I doubt that she had black or even brunette hair.
