Though it's inconsistent I felt black shirt suits better than blue for him.

Another circunstances I have noted is about Super Saiyan Grade IV' and even Perfect Cell's aura. There are some panels that the colors vary from white to yellow. Is there any explanation in-universe or are these just convenient colors?

Yellow aura shows that they are powering-up. It's not a Super Saiyan trait, almost everyone has a yellow aura when powering-up or flying fast, it's the color ki gets when it's intense. Super Saiyan Grade 2, Super Saiyan 2, and Super Saiyan 3 have always a yellow aura because their normal aura is always very intense (and SS2 & SS3 have an even more intense aura, since they have yellow sparks), while Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan Full Power, and Super Saiyan Grade 3 don't have an intense aura.

Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

So I want to elaborate more in my doubt.

Now I remember! A while back, I was making the point that Buu didn't necessarily kill all the Kaioshin in the Kaioshin realm. If This panel is East Kaioshin witnessing the birth of Fat Buu, the color it's given doesn't match up with the color of Kaioshin's planet.

Personally, I was always of the opinion that the Kaioshin went to the lower realms to stop Buu, and not that Buu traveled to the Kaioshin Realm to kill them, because, how would he get there?

THEORY: Aura color doesn't matter, regardless if you are powering up or just glowing. The different colors are there... to be different.

These panels shows a powered-up Piccolo and a fighting Piccolo.
Piccolo doesn't power-up, and he most likely has a white aura like the Super Saiyans because he is a Super Namekian.
Though when Cell powers-up he doesn't show any yellow aura.
Cell seems to "transform" into his version of Super Saiyan.

But Goku SSG3 also has yellow aura, while Cell and Trunks in the same form have white. I could say Goku's is yellow because he was powering-up, but what about Cell's?
It's weird, but I guess it's intentional, since SSG3 Trunks, Goku, and Cell are all in the same chapter. Perhaps Goku is powering-up all the time?
But in Cell Games he has white aura, while Cell has the same white aura when powering-up like Gohan in another panel.
Goku, Gohan, and Cell are not powering-up, this is the standing aura for Super Saiyan Full Power after powering-up. Cell only powers up in the second pic, and I guess it's an error that his aura isn't yellow.
Perfect Cell at Full Power & Buffed Form & Baloon Form also have yellow aura, like Son Gohan Grade V without sparks. Curiously angry Vegeta also has this.
Cell in Full Power & Power Weighed states has a yellow aura for the same reason SS2, etc have a yellow aura, it's how his states work. Bomb Cell has a yellow aura because he is charging energy to explode, and Vegeta has a yellow aura because he is flying (everyone has a yellow aura when flying).
Another strange fact, Trunks also has yellow aura in Grade IV form, while Cell has white.
Against the Artificial Humans, I guess it's yellow because he is angry? Against Cell, I guess he powers-up more than Cell.
Goku against Yakon has yellow aura, though it could be for a contrast to the dark place. Against Vegeta he has the commom white aura, like Son Gohan.
Goku is powering-up against Yakon to create light.
Even Goku's Full Power Kamehameha doesn't show a yellow aura, aside from the blast itself, while Gohan shows it before launching his.
Gohan is trying to get a rage boost & powers up, while Goku isn't powering up.
About SS2, Vegeta has a white aura in this particular panel.
Error, I guess.
The kids going at Full Power and forming SS Gotenks are different from Cell Games Goku and Inside Boo Goku, but like Son Gohan against Boo's sphere and Future Trunks against his Cell counterpart.
The ones with yellow are the ones that are powering-up.

At least it's more consistent than the original manga is in the colors.

I think it's fairly safe to say there are no hard rules for the aura colours in the full-colour release.

Alright guys, one more bulk post to go until hitting the big 519. It'll be shorter because there's only 4 left. It will also be coming tonight. After this I will start filling in the missing section of the Freeza arc, chapters 304 + 307 to 316. So look forward to that if there's something in there that you've been waiting to see.
Chapter 511 - "Vegeta Puts His Life on the Line"
Chapter 512 - "Super Saiyan 3 Vanishes"
Chapter 513 - "Vegeta’s Idea"
Chapter 514 - "A Message for the Revived People of Earth"
Chapter 515 - "Energy Won’t Gather for the Genki-Dama"

I'm not sure, maybe we could see the panel where he talks to Gohan about these upgraded forms' disadvantage.

It should be the standard, but you can see Gohan a little more shining than Goku and Cell, just like Goten & Trunks when powering-up and at full power in Kami's Temple. Though when Gohan get enraged we can see his yellow aura.
Against the Artificial Humans, I guess it's yellow because he is angry? Against Cell, I guess he powers-up more than Cell.
I don't think it is the case, I guess he should have the same white aura as a standard Super Saiyan Grade IV, unless yellow is an indication of using Full Power. I just noted this Cell has the same aura the one that fought Goku had.
The ones with yellow are the ones that are powering-up.
Even when they stop powering-up they remain in the yellow aura state, I just missed to show another scans. SS Gotenks doesn't show the standard white aura, I guess.

Btw, I really apreciate this hard and good work. Thank you, dudes (Cold Skin & Tyro)! I wish I could have the full content in my hands.

I particularly like these ones:

Yeah, thanks for hard work guys.

So we're done now, except for the possibility of the Neko Majin chapters, right? Wait, Cold Skin still has those couple of Freeza Arc chapters to upload too, doesn't he? Unless I missed them.

Yeah, they are still missing those, but as Tyro said on one of the previous pages, they are the only ones missing(304+307-316).

I've seen the whole chapter, and Trunks & Cell have white aura all the time, while Goku has yellow aura all the time. But it's strange, because all 3 of them are in the same chapter.

I find it strange for it to be an inconsistency, since we have a Cell with white aura & Trunks with yellow aura in exactly the panel...
Even when they stop powering-up they remain in the yellow aura state, I just missed to show another scans.
I don't know, maybe the aura remains yellow for a while after powering up as a side-effect?
SS Gotenks doesn't show the standard white aura, I guess.
Gotenks does show a white aura, for example here:
