Someone on Facebook has just shared some amazing “colourised” photos from World War I. What’s wrong with the word coloured?

Coloured means to have coloured, or as the past action of colouring. Colourised is the process of colouring.

No, colouring is the process of colouring.

Name me a single instance of a sentence where the word colouring couldn't be used instead of colourising.

It couldn't, but it's a process. Not quite the same as saying photoshopped for image manipulation (as that's a product), but it's used as a term for a technical process
