* This trope applies to much of the art from Neil Gaiman's ''[[The Sandman]]'', but most especially the amazing artwork from "The Season of Mists"; Ty Bender's non-fiction "Sandman Companion" featured excepts of the same artwork without the hideous colouring, and the difference is astonishing. |

* Leah Moore's ''The Trial of Sherlock Holmes'' has horrendously garish colours over line artwork that is clearly noirish and evocative. The result is a resounding mess. |

* ''[[Elf Quest]]'' |
* ''[[Elf Quest]]''—twice. The colourised [[Marvel Comics]] reprints were patchy at best, and the new computer-coloured versions are incredibly garish and obscure a lot of the original black and white linework. |

* Edwin Biukovic is known for having great detail and just all in all being very good at rendering faces and crowds. But compare [http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/7361/blz14u.jpg this page] from the comics version of ''[[The Thrawn Trilogy|The Last Command]]'' to [http://img360.imageshack.us/img360/9779/blz20dy0.jpg this page] from ''[[X Wing Series|The Phantom Affair]]''. The latter's not terrible, but it's more heavyhanded, and faces are often weirdly dark. |

* Quite a bit of ''[[Dark Empire]]'' is drawn in a rather unusual, stylized way. However, the colorist made some very odd choices, most notably deciding to tint nearly every page in some specific color and being overwhelmingly dark. Sure, a comic where Luke goes to the Dark Side might be expected to have dark colors, but there should be enough light to make things stand out. |
