The problem with the old coloring is that it hasn't been updated since the comics were first released, and its flaws have become magnified over the years as printing has improved and the standard for comic coloring has gone through the stratosphere.
When I first read Sandman (completely the fault of David) the colouring threw me off so much at first that I had to look away from the panels. I was trying to figure out if the comic book producers in the eighties had some freakish love affair with neons, because it didn't seem consistent with the storyline. Same was true for Constantine, when I started reading that last year. It's kind of a shock to go from, say, Manhunter, or that rare good run of Robin last spring, to super-saturated colors.
I remember thinking at the time that the color was crapulescent and the inking a pretty bad job compared to other comics of the day. It put me off until buzz about the writing got me to read "A Doll's House."
From the Robin #151: interesting. At least I hope it is. Needless to say, I'm less than enthused with the character developments of Cassandra Cain.
Wow. That's ... interesting. I agree with you, about Cassandra. (also, wtf is up with the pen and ink. I really don't like the way that's drawn.)
I have no idea what's going in that scene. But after a year off,
Tim has apparently decided to trade in his green pants for orange tights and wearing his underwear outside his pants.
Weird.

Yeah, it has a lot of people up in WTF.
You could *kind* of see it coming. But that doesn't mean I have to like it.

Maybe, but now she speaks fluent English. That's out of nowhere.
I'd be pretty impressed if there was a reason behind it (that leaves me happy) whose revelation in OYL time unfolds along with the backstory in 52.
But I doubt that is going to happen.

Not for the reasons she gives, I don't think. It's not at all in line with any of the textual information we have about her.
