In this paper, we explore the technique of colorization for video compression. The chrominance of the intermediate frames is discarded during encoding. At the time of decoding, chrominance values, which are dropped, are approximated from colorizing grayscale frames by transferring color from a source color frame to a targeted grayscale frame. So far human intervention is an integral part of colorization and pseudo colorization. But the present work can be looked upon as a novel application of the color transformation methodology without any human intervention for video compression. The videos regenerated at the decoding end demonstrate the potential and the utility of color transferring techniques in video compression domain.
