Interesting. It would be amazing if you could find the time, to elaborate, share some insights into this industry.

Specifically: What are 2-3 major companies that would profit? How does the current process work; do they make an entire uncolored scene and then color it? What do I have to google, to find example videos of uncolored animation? Can you ballpark how much it costs to color a 30min TV-Episode?

This depends a lot on the production process used. These days it's anything between hand drawn frames with digital coloring to completely digital processes using 2D vector graphics or 3D models.
