If the colorization was adding translucent color to the original film that would explain why the colors seemed a bit washed out in some scenes.
The show did seem a lot clearer and sharper due to the restoration along the way.
I too found it to be a little more realistic looking than the B&W version. What surprised me most about this show was that there was virtually no advertising for it before it came on. With that Peter Pan spectacle for weeks ahead of time we were reminded the show was coming. I didn't see one item about this Lucy special. I just saw the small news clip about it on the news and then in TV Guide. That's it. What a shame for people who didn't know it was going to be on.
