About Back in Colour
We believe every family photo tells a story. Our mission is to bring those stories back to life with natural, beautiful colour that honours the memory and moment captured.
Our Story
Back in Colour was born from a simple observation: family photos are treasures, but black-and-white images can feel distant from younger generations. We wanted to bridge that gap, making historical family moments feel immediate and alive again.
Using cutting-edge AI trained on thousands of historical photographs, we've created a service that adds natural, contextually-aware colour to your precious memories. Our technology understands historical periods, clothing, architecture, and skin tones to deliver results that feel authentic.
Our Values
Privacy First
Your family photos are deeply personal. We use enterprise-grade security, EU-based servers, and automatic deletion to protect your memories.
Quality Over Quantity
We focus on delivering natural, historically-accurate colours rather than rushing through volume. Every photo gets the attention it deserves.
Accessible Heritage
Everyone should be able to connect with their family history. We offer free trials and fair pricing to make our service accessible.
Continuous Improvement
We continuously refine our AI models based on historical research and user feedback to deliver ever-better results.
The Technology
Our AI is trained specifically on historical photographs, learning patterns of:
- Period-appropriate clothing colours and materials
- Historical architecture and paint schemes
- Skin tone accuracy across different ethnicities
- Natural lighting and shadow behaviour
- Era-specific colour palettes and photography styles
This specialised training means your family photos get colours that feel authentic to their time period, not just technically accurate.
