It doesn't matter. I can flip between the two, and I just don't see any 
meaningful difference.

To me, it's essentially an illustration for a tech subject, as opposed to a 
composed photograph. As long as it conveys 
the required information, other aspects seem moot. The information it conveys 
is not in the color.

I need to replace the turn signal switch on one of my cars. I've found, bless 
the web, an illustrated, step by step 
guide. A few of the of the photos are slightly blurry, improperly exposed, etc. 
- and it makes no difference at all. 
Fortunately, they are in color, as wire colors are significant for this purpose.
