The first question that comes to mind is: how much time are you willing to put into it?

For example, here is how Weadah does it:

Very involved, but can’t argue with the results.

Shorter routes include:
a1. Start a new layer
a2. Set blending mode to colour
a3. Paint your colour on

b1. Use your favorite method to select a part you want to colourize b2. Add Adjustment Layer > HSB and check Colourize

Personally, I mix between long and short. I do a lot of painting, use lots of layers set to various blending modes, and use HSB.

Photoshop is a supurb program for colorizing
B&W images – but, it takes skill and effort. You need to be proficient at color choices, selections, masking and layer blending modes.

Go to image>mode>rgb or cmyk. Paint with colors from your palette using color or multiply instead of normal for the painting style (in the upper toolbar). You may wish to duplicate the layer first, and take snapshots along the way so you can back up to earlier versions. I know there’s tutorials out there, but I don’t have any bookmarked.
