Colorized Autry Family in a Winton Touring Car circa 1915

Here's a vintage Autry family portrait in a luxury Winton Touring car taken in 1910. The pioneering Cleveland-based Winton Motor Carriage thrived from 1897 to 1962. The beach is Old Orchard Beach in Maine,  The Everingham house is a  landmark at the time. at the corner of Seawall and Union Avenue   The house on the left remains standing as seen here

Yellow would seem like a good color choice, but I already made one and it would not stand out from the sandy beach color. So I experimented with white. just to be close to the vintage original where the car and the beach have about the same monochromatic registration. Just like black, white is another uninteresting non-color though the various shades that can create details can be a challenge on its own, such as the Library of Congress and the NY Grand Central buildings that I did earlier. I played around and settled with off-white that has slight greenish hue. This gives the car some character without being aggressive. Now whether the real Winton model used that color is another matter. On the side, this is another colorization where I spent more time on the background than on the main subject.
