Hello!

I have some Black & White pictures, and I want to color them (not because I want them to look realistic, but because I want them to look cool ;P ).

I got inspired from Green Day - Basket Case music video (http://youtu.be/NUTGr5t3MoY):


The music video was originally shot in Black & White, but was later added some very nice and abstract colors. Can you tell me how I can achieve the same cool effect in Photoshop with my black & white pictures?

I'm kinda new to photoshop, and I don't know all the possibilities in it, but I hope you can guide me through!
Feel free to link me some guides and tutorials on this topic. (I don't want to waste your time if not necessary)

Easiest way of doing it is to put new layers of color on top of you black and white layer and then change the blending mode color.

Below is a really crude example that should give you the right idea of how to attack it.
