Lisa: it matters if we want to be able to use color information to uncover the original makers' intent. Obviously the colors are worth studying either way: someone wanted the MS to look this way. But for us, it makes a difference whether that person was informed or not.
If something in the manuscript is red, is that because the makers intended it to be red, or because some later ignoramus used the MS as a coloring book?
