I tried downloading a few utilities from ROMhacking.net. However, they were all palette swap tools instead of a robust re-colorization like what I've seen in the SML2 and Kirby ROM hacks. There are a few JRPGs that I want to give a facelift, like the original Seiken Densetsu and some of the SaGa games. I'm looking for advice about if I need a decompiler, if I have to engineer one myself for each specific game using a more broad tool before reassembly, etc. Thank you in advance, if you have any insight.

Not sure about ROM colorization, but if you can use a program called Lunar Magic to create ROM-hacks. It allows you to import your own art and build your own levels. The learning curve is pretty steep from what I hear but there are some incredible creators working at the moment and a lot of resources/people you can connect with.
