I think it depends on the art. I think Don Rosa's stories would be best left
uncolored because of the insane details that can be lost on a coloring job in
general - no matter the quality.
But sometimes, the coloring really adds to the artwork. The simple yet
effective colors in the mid-to-late "Krazy Kat" strips come to mind, complete with
scratchy, balanced coloring that truly fit Herriman's style.
Anything colored by Robert Crumb just doesn't work. Bill Watterson's work
looks excellent colored.
It's just a matter of style.
