I have photoshop CS 5 I have B&W image that I want to make a brownish sepia, in past I could

I want to use my CS 5 with my B&W image to add color to image to make a good brownish sepia,to print. I have these images in this format, but I have a new image I want to do this
when I bring up my color tools they go grey. So just to check, I bring in a Color image no problem, color tools are active. What is changing, how do I get my sepia added to my B&W image.
The B&W negs were done at a lab, made digital, and sent to me on a CD, is it possible that is the problem?  Robert

Check the color mode under Image>Mode and change to RGB Color, if they are in some other color mode.
It sounds like they are in the Grayscale.
