B&W for the most part.

Edit to add: Non glossy paper and wide margins are a bonus.

Black and white so I can afford more books.

...If I had unlimited money, color, and as lavish and ornate as humanly possible please.

Non-glossy (this isn't Glamour Mag), Black ink clean large font (times new roman 12 pt), on white paper, ideally high cotton content with leather binding... made by master Gnomes... if we're going to dream, dream big.

I do like color, but black and white is easier to read.

I prefer black print on white but otherwise either is fine.

B&W with color covers are preferred. I don't mind glossy pages.

Depends.

If its a superfluous expense (doesn't really add much) and increases the price, I don't need it. But some are enhanced by color and the price raise does make sense then.

In general, though, B&W interiors with a good cover.

I'll continue the grognardian preference for B&W with color covers, though I also like how some newer games like AS&SH use a few color plates in addition to the primarily black & white art.

Black and white. Gideon Thorne's (i.e., Peter Bradley's) artwork looks better in B&W.
