When I'm coloring a page, I try to "correct" anything that stands out as a definite mistake. We catch dozens of them on each volume ( we also miss some too ). To me a definite mistake is when a portion of a costume is different from the rest of the costume on the panel ( for instance, if a portion of Karnaks glove was blue and the rest was green ). But in a case like what is being discussed here, I'd leave the color as it was in the original. Although I assume it was a mistake on the part of the person who did the original color separations, I would have no way of being 100% sure, unless we found the original color guides. The fact that the entire costume is different places doubt in my mind that it was unintentional. Usually a mistake like that would only affect a portion of the object, a costume in this case. Especially as we go farther into the Marvel time line and enter the Bronze Age, there are more instances where the colorists would make conscious decisions to alter colors to affect mood and story telling. Again, I don't think that is the case here, but I don't feel it is our place to purposely change portions of the art that we can't prove are mistakes. Thanks! Mike Kelleher
