JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (Japanese: ジョジョの奇妙な冒険, Hepburn: JoJo no Kimyō na Bōken) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Hirohiko Araki. It was originally serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine from 1987 to 2004, and was transferred to the monthly seinen magazine Ultra Jump in 2005

Tbh I used to prefer the colourised versions but after buying the manga physically I just prefer the black and white now

Meanwhile at Shueisha:
Guy 1: Hey, you know how Araki's art is so pretty and cool?
Guy 2: Yeah, what about it?
Guy 1: What if it was ugly?

I love the specific colour schemes for Jojolion stands. It gives them a more ghostly spectre look to them

[WhispyMoon]

I actually love S&W's colorscheme
But I agree that the colored version could be better

3:28 Paisley Park doesn't have a cake, it has the whole bakery

[scottking]

Let’s hope David production will work close with araki on part 8

Don’t want to get controversial but I actually really like the glow affect added to stands. Like more then the lack of glow in previous parts. The 1 colour stands are pretty bad though and wonder of u is hard to look at.

[Parsley]

I feel that stands having bright and radiant colors makes sense as they are ethereal and stuff. But yeah, totally agree with the single colors thing

[praisethecatss]

Personally I enjoy the more colourful design of jojolion especially until the urban gorilla arc but I agree the glow is awful and FOR Gods sake WoU is atrocious it's even stated that WoU wears black clothes where is that Shit brown came from

[AffyMoon]

Many of the Jojolion stands have interesting designs that would work well with the standard colouring method. But Shueisha's glow effect and the extremely limited color palette are definitely not cutting it. Like, Araki's Speed king looks really good compared to the original one as you said. And Vitamin C has one of the more diverse palettes of the bunch and it looks pretty good minus the brightness. I feel like Wonder of U would look really good too without the red glow and making the black/blue a bit less vibrant

[spookyfoster]

It's weird how the bathroom tiles with soft and wet are so bright yellow. I gotta be honest. I have never seen bathroom with yellow tiles that glow like the Sun. Blue definitely suits it better

[Pinnaporaptor]

JJL introduced some of my favorite designs in the series, but when all the colored pages were finished and I started to read the rest of the part in B&W, the strange itch I had with what was wrong with the stands was finally resolved. The coloring of the stands is bizarre, but not in the way I hoped it'd be.

[colrestren]

Personally I really like the glowing effect on Paisley Park, it kinda adds this ominous energy to the stand.

[arrowflintofficial]

This shit has happened since part 3 colorings like when the made the world all yellow with no accents or contrast. It looks god awful.

[toastedperfection]

Fun fact: Wonder of U canonically is black. I forgot which chapter said it, but it was explicitly stated to be black so Shueisha literally even went against one of the few canon colours in the series.

[neilangelopalquiza]

Wonder of U is weird. All of it's colors are quite dark, but it's glowing. Why Shueisha?

[HarryDaveyHD]

While I agree that the shueisha coloured stands do look odd I don't think the stands looking like they're glowing is that much of a problem. I've always thought that stands need to 'glow' at least slighty other wise they would simply be invisisble. We see things by sensing the light that bounces of of them, If visible light bounced off of stands then they'd be visible to everyone, in order for stand users to 'see' stands they would either require some sort of psychic light source or the stands themselves would need to be emitting some kind of psychic light.
The 'light source' could possibly be the 'light behind the mind' used to defeat Silver Chariot Requiem but that hasn't really been brought up apart from that fight so it is hard to say for sure.

[NormalExploiter]

I expected wou to be black with purple scarf to make it more misterious and shueisha color is different with yellow scarf to make him look like a random simpson dude

[offbalanceg]

The glow reminds me of how some of the stands have a tinted/glowing look in ASB/EOH.

(Shueisha Headquarters)
"We did a pretty good job with the Steel Ball Run colors, right?"
"Yeah, that's right"
"Why don't we use them for Jojolion?"
"Ok.. but one thing."
"Yes?"
"Put in a shit load of saturation for the stands and use only one color for most of them too."
