You can colorize images with the free program called GIMP. I'm sure you could use PhotoShop in a similar way. This image shows the results.

First, I selected one area. Then I used the "Colorize" tool from the Color menu to change that area to blue. Then I repeated the procedure for the orange. I also used the Colors->Curves tool to increase the contrast. The result isn't perfect, but it's a start. You could use the painting tools to improve it.

*Another nice free program for Win/Linux is Krita http://krita.org/

You could always just use paint as well

You didn’t specify whether this was actually intended to become a mainline portrait some day, but in any case it’s quite far from there for various reasons that... eh, someone more knowledgeable on these matters (one of the holders of the Art Contributor or Director titles) should be able to explain better than me. This without taking into account that it’s not colored or cleaned up.

So, I have moved this from Art Contributions to Art Workshop.
