What color are we supposed to use when an old film has scenes that contain various tinted scenes?

I own The Lost World (1925) and well over half of it features scenes that are tinted different colors. For example, night scenes are blue, interior scenes are sort of a brown tint, Lost World scenes are either, green, red or other colors.

So I don't think B&W would fit since it isn't that. Nor is it colorized (well I don't think it is, perhaps I'm wrong). I was leaning towards Mixed.

Any ideas?

From the contribution rules:

Black & White Programs that were produced in, and are displayed in, Black & White or sepia/single toned. Tone may change from scene to scene, as long as each scene is single-toned.

If scenes are monochromatic they are considered Black & White for profiler purposes.
