Hello Ian,
Thank you for your work on the photo of Chris Lee.  Nice work.
I have used Paint.Net and never realised what it is capable of.
Nice Guy.

sort the black and white image first, Levels, Contrast, any Repairs etc! then LAYERS.
Add New Layer ... then just slap on the paint which goes onto Layer 2.  As thick and bright as you can because you can twiddle the Saturation and Transparency later.
The default is Normal but Light or Dark or Layer is the usual choice bu you can try all the options and backstep if you don't like the results.
Then MERGE DOWN and adjust the Colour Saturation and Hey Presto  ... you have Colourised a B& W image.
I usually leave EXTRA Colour because the Original Poster will probably want to PRINT a copy onto Photographic Paper and the process invariably loses some of its Colour Sparkle and anyhow they can always tone it down to suit.
Try it firstly on a simple image ... cheers, Ian

I found the navigation round the menus not very good for my eyes with Paint.Net.  Though I will give it a go with the details you have wrote.
I have an old version of Corel Paint Shop Pro X2 and I find this very good for my eyes and ease of use.  I will try through this with your help given for paint.Net.
Nice Guy.

Like I said on your other post, the bigger the file, the more pixels there will be to give greater detail and clarity, and it will be easier on the eyes. Some of the restorers have software that can increase the pixel count without losing quality, I don't have that, so find small files are hard on the eyes. That is why, if possible, you should scan your photos at a resolution of 300Dpi.
