B&W with Color


I have noticed some interesting pictures that are B/W with a part of the picture being in color. I have noticed the term hand-painted too. I work with PS7. Could someone tell me how this effect is achieved?

  It's really not that difficult ... In PS, you can copy the layer to a new layer. Desaturate the copied layer. Then, using the history brush, bring back the color of the items you want to have colored ... I'm reasonably certain that there are other ways to do it, but this seemed to be the easiest to me ...

  Ok. I figured that out. Not too hard really. Now what about doing the same thing but with different colors? Like instead of the original colors you use other colors to paint it.
