Yes, under normal circumstances, the links, as originally posted, would work just fine; but thanks to the garbage-characters that sometimes occur during a message's relay through the listserv, links can be tricky things.
When in doubt, go to the main Forum page, <www.twainweb.net>, scroll down the page to "archives," and click thereon. You can then search "colorizing photos" in the Subject-line field, which will display a list of postings from the aforementioned thread of 10 October 2013.

colorization was indeed a fantasy since color didn't come
