If your gun will be only for display I can see how the case colors hidding engraving detail can upset you. But, if you will use the gun alot on the range and in the field you will get 2 enjoyments from it. First you will enjoy the colors and then as the seasons pass you will be treated to the engraving detail with a hint of color as the colors slowly fade. That's when the true beauty of the art is showcased and you may say that it gets better with age. As an example I would remind you all of some of the Remingtons that Semmer has shown us in the Double Gun Journal and other vintage doubles shown as well.
