Re-coloring's that seeks to reproduce the original coloring, only on superior paper stock, is the way to go. I think paper stock is vital. The best example I've seen are the Jack Kirby Omnibus' by DC. That should be the standard for reprinting classic material. The main thing for me is that very glossy paper almost always ruins the look of old comics. I don't particularly like glossy paper with new comics.

Unless the recoloring is just a minor adjustment to the existing colors, rather than adding new gradients and shades, I'm not a fan. Besides the desire to preserve how things looked as originally printed in newsprint, I think that the limited color palette available back then was one of the constraints that required colorists to make creative color choices that would not have happened had they had access to additional shades. The limited palette was directly responsible for colorists developing a unique look their colored art.

I prefer the newsprint, myself. Maybe that's just because I'm old, but there just seems to be something lacking in the modern printings.
