The oldest surviving color video is reportedly Eisenhower announcing WRC switching from B&W in 1958.
A 110-year-old example of Lee-Turner colour film was discovered in the UK’s National Media Museum archives in 2012.
NB: that is not the 110-year-old film in the preview image; that is an even older example of hand-painted film.
I didn’t click on the link, but I was going to say that looked an awful lot like hand-tinted film.
The actual film starts around 1:39.
And a nitpick: the film was 110 years old when it was discovered in 2012, so today it’s even 121 years old.

I assume only the “in-the-computer” scenes.
That’s how we get Killer Tomatoes. Do you want Killer Tomatoes?
Fun fact:
Filming took place in Oceanside and other parts of San Diego County. The finished film contains footage of a real helicopter crash. In a scene showing law enforcement officers firing their weapons to ward off tomatoes in a field, a $60,000 Hiller Aircraft UH-12E that had been rented for the production was supposed to have landed in the tomato patch behind the officers. But during the landing the Hiller's tail rotor struck the ground, causing the craft to spin out of control near the ground, ro

Not really. The glowing effect around characters was hand colored, as well as some portion of the live action scenes. It was a lot of the the ‘in computer’ action that @CalMeacham refers to, but obviously all the ‘in reality’ scenes were shot in color, as well as approx. 27 minutes of CGI. The full set of credits includes a large number of the hand coloring personnel, if memory serves were working in Taiwan.
Yes. There’s a huge block of credits at the end with all the names written in (I assume) Chinese script.
IIRC, the “CGI” scenes were generated by computer, but were hand-colored in pastel shades. One reviewer complimented them for the mild color choice, because watching a film with nothing but extremely bright colors would have been exhausting.

None that I recall. I could check into it, but the colors choices were developed over time and selected by the directors.
?
This seems like a complete non-sequitur to my post.
I don’t recall any CGI scenes colored by hand or recolored other than through regeneration on the computer. The color choices were determined well before the point in time when it would have been practical to change them post-production.
I learned that Banksy isn’t one person, but an entire art collective plus a bunch of lawyers who police what gets counted as Banksy and what doesn’t.

Wait, what? When did that come out, and how did I miss it?
I read this article about a defamation case that is shedding light on Banksy’s true identity.
