Colouring of black and white photos (1 Viewer)

In HBW 7 you can see three digitally coloured photos of Tanner's famous Ivory-billed woodpeckers, in Lost Animals (Fuller, 2013) you can find a coloured b/w photo of the Pink-headed duck. What do you think about this afterwards process of black and white photos. It is just manipulation or it is good way to show people the colours of a bird even when the colors doesn't match the real colours to hundred percent at the moment the photo was taken?

Seems harmless enough to me, as long as it is made clear that the colors were added in post-processing. The same as far as I am concerned applies to any other kind of manipulation in post-processing--as long as there's no deceit, anything goes.
