There are many different ways to colorize a photo, but this is just the basic for a photo that is already black and white.
Here it is (for photoshop)
1) click Image -> Mode->RGB color
*the coor mode changes, but the image on the screen does not
2)Click the new layer Icon in the layers palette.
3) Click the layer blend mode up down arrow and click SOFT LIGHT
4)Click the lasso tool
5)Click and draw around an area to make a selection
6) Click in the Foreground color in the toolbar
THE COLOR PICKER dialog box appears
7) Click and drag the color slider to select a color range
8) Click in the color preview box to select a color
9) Click OK to close the dialog
10)Press B to select the brush tool
11)Click in the brush thumbnail in the Options bar to open the brush picker
12) Click a soft edged brush
13) Paint over the selected areas to apply the color
14) click the opacity arrow
15) drag the opacity slider for the layer to adjust the color
16) Repeat steps 2 to 15 until the entire image in painted.
If you need help just let me know! Its fun once you do it.
