I guess that Greeks and Romans painted them with a more "live" touch, not only a bare colouring of the different materials (skin, hair, fabric), after so much work of hard sculpting and mirror polishing marble, could they simply "brush" the statue with colorured pigments? It's just kids stuff...

Better something like this:

TITVS/Daniele Sabatini
... Tu modo nascenti puero, quo ferrea primum
desinet ac toto surget Gens Aurea mundo,
casta faue Lucina; tuus iam regnat Apollo ...
Vergilius, Bucolicae, ecloga IV, 4-10
