The Palette is the first colorized image, kolorize second.
Yes, grateful for all your determinations and efforts. I can see why you had difficulties in assessing a favoured outcome. I decided to plump for the palette option purely for the reason that the cap appeared to be a more realistic match.

Attached is a 1924 image of Joe Green with the Philadelphia Athletics.

Green's only Major League appearance was on July 2nd 1924. It was the second game of a double header with the New York Yankees. The A's eked out a 10-9 win in the first game but were convincingly defeated 10-1 in the latter. In his only at bat as a pinch hitter for pitcher Fred Heimach he emerged with the distinction of facing a future Hall Of Famer, Herb Pennock
