Description
This is me taking a Crack at Coloring myself the way I'd like to see my work colored, time is everyones enemy and I know I may never see this level of color on anything unless I were to do it myself (with an open ended deadline) My monitor isn't 100% perfect calibration so I hope it looks OK.Related content

Like Sqarr said some of the colors aren't usable but I'm sure you could just show this to any colorist and he'd be able to copy the basic style.
Personally I like high saturation and was disappointed when I learned it didn't really print. I'm used to the colors used in old video games.

Jim Campbell just wrote this blog that I feel fits into this discussion, if you feel like reading it. It's a little more strongly worded than I think is strictly necessary, so take the emphasis as not being mine.

Now, I don't post this to badger you. Feel perfectly free to ignore it.
Have a great day either way, though.

The blues you've got on Wolverine and what you've got on the windows in the background are impossible to print in CMYK and I'm getting gamut warnings all over the page. The yellow on Wolverine grabs the eye much too violently compared to everything else.
Personally, if I saw this printed, I'd feel the colourist hadn't done the strength and solidity of your lineart any justice. Compared to all the time it took you to plan, thumbnail, draw and ink this spread, it would just take a competent colourist maybe half an hour to get it to look like this after the flats got done. They just wouldn't be earning Marvel-grade pay.

It looks GREAT DĀ²!
But . . . it looks like what most comics would consider flats. Not a fan of shadows on the figures? I see the gradients and added textures in the backgrounds, but not so much on the figures . . .
I like it though! And it's pretty on par to what I saw in Connor Hawke . . . if memory serves . . .
