I have tried several programs and none of them let me put color on a black and white picture, the color palette becomes greyscale and I can't add color to it. Does anyone know how to do with with paint shop pro or photoshop or any other program?
 
First you need to increase the color depth of the image: Colors Menu -> Increase Color Depth -> then choose an option.

You should then be able to select colors. You can automatically add color to the picture by selecting Colors -> Colorize, or Colors -> Adjust -> Red/Green/Blue

Hope this helps.

Rob.
