       Colour shows Professional Quality (Aesthetically pleasing). Black and white where/when
      structurally 
      appropriate (e.g., a mini newspaper with adds, editorials, 
      simulating comic strips, 
      pictures, headlines, etc.) or thematically appropriate (e.g., the topic is 
      "There are no Grays in Racism" so black and white would support 
      the message)   |
