I love the hellzapoppin' colorization but it does show that we have a long way to go -- you can see the colorization struggle with keeping the skin tone of the dancers consistent. obviously, this has a lot to do with training data bias.

The colorization is struggling to keep colors consistent on the costumes, walls, curtains... basically everywhere the lighting keeps changing a bit.
Many things in the scene are constantly shifting minutely between pinkish-beige and bluish-grey, often making them look somewhat iridescent.
I've noticed this sort of effect in many colorization attempts. This one does better than most.
Training data bias is obviously part of the problem, but not the whole story. It might not even be the biggest cause. Image segmentation is one way to help the colorization stabilize.
