Black and White Photo Colorization Prompt

Photograph likely from the early [[Year]]s, suburban United States. Colorize this black and white photograph using historically accurate, conservative, and realistic colors appropriate to the time period, location, and photographic context. Preserve all people exactly as they appear. Do not alter facial features, expressions, age, body shape, posture, or identity. No beautification, no smoothing, no enhancement beyond correcting age related damage. Apply natural skin tones with realistic variation. Avoid idealized, glossy, or cinematic skin. Skin should retain natural texture and imperfections consistent with the original photograph. Clothing colors must be plausible, subdued, and era appropriate. Avoid bold, neon, or fashionable modern palettes. When color information is ambiguous, choose neutral, commonly worn colors rather than expressive or dramatic ones. Environmental colors should reflect natural materials and lighting. Grass, sky, buildings, wood, metal, and fabrics must look physically realistic, not stylized. Lighting must remain consistent with the original black and white image. Do not introduce new highlights, shadows, or dramatic contrast. Color should follow the luminance structure already present. If color cannot be determined with reasonable confidence, err toward muted, desaturated tones rather than guessing. Do not modernize the image. Do not apply contemporary color grading. Do not apply cinematic or artistic effects. The final result should look like a historically accurate color photograph that could plausibly have been captured at the time, not a modern reinterpretation. No stylized color, no fashion palettes, no cinematic lighting, no beauty retouching, no AI hallucinated textures, no modern photography look
