Ro Salarian: The bookplate for my next book. Not sure if I should go with color or black and white. Opinions?

The bookplate for my next book. Not sure if I should go with color or black and white. Opinions?

I feel like the black and white is lacking the contrast that the color version gets, which makes it less easy to read. I think it would benefit from more contrast and shading to make it pop in it's own way.

I was thinking the same thing, maybe a toned or black background

The background has so be black for the purposes of signing it

I’m partial to the color version myself.

I think the color makes this lovely illustration more vibrant and eye-catching.

The color is fantastic!

I love both but the color version really pops and has my vote!

I think the colour version is more eye catching and immediately makes me think "oh I know this art style". The BW is lovely but the colour version is more to my liking
