Strapp Spiral test

I'm playing with some new spiral eyes and need help deciding which is better.  Here are a couple of mid range shots of Strapp (tiny preview of the next Dippylark comic) Do you prefer #1 with color or #2 just black & white? Thank you for your help

Update: I added the download feature.  Not sure if that helps viewing.  I want to make sure whatever spirals I use look good from a distance.  So far, the results are pretty evenly split.  Ordinarily I would probably go with the black and white swirls, but I'm trying to nail down a spiral effect that can be Dippylark's own signature swirls which is why I tried out a color version.  I'll post some tests of Dippy with the swirls, that might be a better indicator.  Thanks to everyone who responded, you all have been so very helpful!
