If I'm understanding you correctly clessidraman, the color of Karnak's costume is consistent throughout the entire reprint of the issue in question (AA #3), correct ? In other words, Karnak's costume is "lighter bluish green" for the entire issue ? Because if it's consistent throughout the entire issue, and colored as it was in the original comic , why do you assume it's a "mistake" ? Maybe Marvel wanted to experiment with the coloring of Karnak's costume for an issue, saw the results, and decided to go back to the original shade in AA #4. I'm sure this is what Cory means by his statement that regarding it as an error is a presumption that can't be verified.

I used to feel obvious coloring mistakes , like the coloring scheme of Bucky's costume in the TALES OF SUSPENSE issues reprinted in CAPTAIN AMERICA Volume 1, should be corrected, as they were when CAP V 1 was published. Now, though, I feel preserving the issues as originally published is the right thing to do.

No. We are talking about one panel or so where the coloring was wrong. I cannot remember what issue, but there was a Thor where just one leg in one panel that had the incorrect color. This happened occasionally thur out Marvel's history. These 'so-called obvious" mistakes are what a very few of us want corrected. It's how it should have been colored and since we expect the "best possible" presentation, the way it should have been done. If we wanted exact copies, then the Masterworks fail miserably, as the newsprint is missing, the ads are not presented, the cheap printing is absent, ect.
