I believe it makes partial guesses based on training data.

So, if that is standard colorization for those type of buttons, it might be somewhat accurate. It is possibly all wrong, of course.

It guesses based on fed data and color values. AI colorisation tends to play it safe and isn't necessarily accurate at all, which is why it's so controversial among historians.
