Honestly sometimes I consider it, like just post the lineart and done
but then I think is worth it, it helps set the mood, define more the characters, the story and your style, so I think I'm gonna keep coloring it
Color is a pretty important aspect of my comic, so it wouldn't make too much sense to have it in black and white, haha. But there's plenty of good comics that are in black and white!
Because, honestly, working in B&W/greyscale depresses the heck out of me. Doing greyscale renderings of things sucks all the joy out of art for me. I don't read or watch very much media that's black and white either because it just makes me sad unless it's got something really special to attract my interest. Hell, I don't even like being in environments without any significant color (most Brutalist architecture, all-white kitchens, the average generic office building, many urban environments, etc.).
Color is a drug I can't live without.
Drawing in black and white is neither easier nor harder, but it 100% takes a different set of skills to depict things properly and to understand how to use contrast. People make the false assumption they can just take a colored page and turn the saturation to zero, then you end up with a blob of washed out greys or panels that are unparsable. You don't have to be as mindful with details when you can use color to bring to attention what you want! I think the biggest hurdle people face with trying black and white is learning techniques to inform details and objects rather than drawing everything outright.
I think if it's your personal choice, then people probably choose to work in color because that's what they're used to seeing or it's just what they want to see. Colors are naturally attractive, there's no denying that. I remember being a kid and picking up manga for the first time and going "but where da colors?" Same business!
I draw in black and white partially because i'm making manga, but also because I just don't care to use color. Black and white is easier for me to understand and I love it- over time I have only increased my expectations for art that just feels good to look at. There's something about just seeing linework with tone that feels very blunt, raw and "truthful", that is to say, you can't hide your shortcomings. I appreciate that.
Because colored comics are the standard for webtoons and mobile users like seeing colors (myself included lol). Also it's really nice seeing my panels in color -- especially for sunset and other specially lighted scenes -- like I'm looking at anime screenshots of my own work.
I still like doing a b/w manga style a lot more, especially styles that are stark b/w (not sure how to accurately describe it but ones that don't use a lot of tones, like Naruto or HunterxHunter), but I use it only for special bonus episodes.
I've made black and white for print in the past, and may in the future on a zine or something. On this comic, I wanted to do colour though and to try out a colouring palette influenced by old American comics and to try things like having funky, colourful magic effects. It's also just more eyecatching on a screen and a little easier on the eyes.
Having made both colour and black and white comics, I don't personally think black and white is easier. It's slightly less time-consuming at certain stages, but you have to think more about your compositions, lighting and character designs to do black and white well. Because of this, I prefer to use black and white for short print comics where I can really concentrate and make every panel as beautifully composed as I can, while colour I'll use on a comic where the long-form story is the focus and I have to bang out two pages a week every week for hundreds of pages.
The style I'm most comfortable in is semi-lineless, so black and white doesn't pop. It takes way longer to do but I don't feel it was a bad decision, colours is what gets the most compliments in my comic, even though I'm really not that good.
I did that black & white comics because I´m a big comic noir fan. I love the work of Will Eisner
and Jordi Bernet for example.
I did colored comics because it fit better to the story and how I wanted it to be presented.
I just sent a 16 page comic to a contest today and I´m pretty sure that they will choose a colored
comic over a black & white comic. I think it has to do with a psychological effect and people think
colored comics are more work or more professional or something like that. Not true obviously
I did not 
If I did, I'd never get my comic done as regularly as it comes out, colored stuff only as a premium
Mainly because I have exaggerated expressions and for years I drew my comics in black and white because I had limited resources but a big imagination. Now that any color is possible with digital painting, I can color my works.
I’m not really good at shading either.
I do my webtoon in B/W + greyscale because I 've always read mangas in my life. They ended up being my main inspiration in terms of artstyle and composition. I also studied in a comic school where they focused more on doing lineart and inking (coloring was another course to take aside the comic one).
I'm also a big noob with digital coloring and I don't quite like my artstyle colored in cell shading like anime (I tried on my drawing as a test and I didn't know where to start putting shadows or how much was ok, it was a bit stressful only on a simple drawing).
I know colored webtoons are eye catching and became the standard for some readers but it doesn't suits me, it's less trickier transform it into a vertical format.
I use high saturation colors for my comic beside I use water-coloring for the backgrounds. Aesthetically, it is a design choice that works with the story and character designs.
There ARE exceptions to this rules for my comic though:
Black & White or extremely low color saturation panels will be used when there is a flashback or a Time Mage uses a chronomancer spell like 'Time Stop' or 'Time Reverse', much like the ability from 'Tears of the Kingdom'.
In those cases, the whole panel is frozen in time in black and white, while the Time Mage is in full color, walking around the panels as normal.
It’s honestly a clutch for me. It’s easier to get started on B&W, but much harder to make it look good (or as good as color). It takes a lot of planning and foresight that I don’t have. Plus color is more popular than b&w when it comes to webcomics in general
I used to make short stories as a kid by drawing and then adding some text. I liked the colour because I felt it gave more depth. Emotion and such to it. Just feel it fits how I tell a story.
I have gotten ALOT of comments about my manga even in my earlier years back. Of when I started it and the drawings were not as good as today. How dark, oppressive, intense, etc it feels depending on whats going on.
