Not just films from that era, but more recent offerings too. If you watch
the "Special edition" release of Star Wars, there is a short documentary
at the start which shows how badly the original film had deteriorated
after 20 years, and how it looked after being digitally restored/enhanced.
Of course, this restoration was overseen by the film's original creator. I
suspect someone else would have to use a lot of subjective judgement when
restoring the film, as much of the original colour will have faded or
changed.
