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.
