In the background there's something "black" sitting on the counter. It's
probably a toaster & was actually chrome. I think y'all could get to color
rendition closer if you chose something in the black area (not the reflected
flash) and set that as the neutral tone.
The negative is Kodak SAFETY FILM with the number 12518 printed along the edge.
I've been searching to see if I can identify the film from that. No luck so far.
SWAG: IF it was 1968, the film might be Kodacolor X in 127 or 126 format. That
was Kodak's color negative film from 1963-1975
But I still think the major color correction (for fading & shift) should be
available during the scan.

OK I played with the one John Coyle did and reversed it to the correct
orientation, worked on getting the aqua which gave the shirts they were all wearing
a bit more believable a color.. but working with a print screen low res image I
couldn't do much ..
I work kinda free hand don't record every tweak.. just go back and forth until
I see what I guessed would be closest to the original color.

The stairs/wall were a light shade of blue. The year was approximately 1968.

My scanner is an epson 4990. I guess I need to figure out how to get a
better scan first! I did try to use some of the "advanced" features,
but obviously too low rez.

Hi Gonz - from your low-res Flickr image, I used the following process in
PS:
Auto Tone
Auto Colour
Auto Contrast
Image Adjustments:
Brightness reduced
Contrast +10%
Shadows/Highlights:
Mid-Tones +15%
And then resized it to 300dpi
The result is at

not brilliant, but perhaps it would work better on a decent scan.
