In this GIMP tutorial, a colorization technique is used to color grayscale images.

I wonder what is this technique ?

I ask so, because I want to reproduce it in Python/OpenCV.

Simply said what they do is

  1. Select an area that you want to edit
  2. Create a color mask for that area in a seperate layer
  3. On the original layer, for the mask area apply an opacity of 50%
  4. On the second colored layer, apply also an opacity of 50%
  5. Now fuse both layers together

There are enough functions to do something similar to this in OpenCV.
