For Gene Colan Week, here are is a page from a 10-page Black Widow story in AMAZING ADVENTURES #5 (when she shared the book with the Inhumans). The story was reprinted and recolored in a Marvel Black Widow hardcover a few years ago. In fact, it is the original page and the recolored page that I'd like to compare and contrast.
NSFW due to something not being totally concealed.



Here's the original page. The final panel is very popular.



Here's the bottom of the recolored page:



Well, you can't see it this time.

While this isn't the best-known example of Gene Colan's work, it is very popular in its own way.

Well, I guess teenagers had to do something before they could pause Chun Li mid-kick.

"Well, you can't see it this time."

See what? I can't tell the difference between the original and recolored version of the last panel outside of the obvious recoloring. Is it her eye color? They do look different.

Directly south of her elbow and peeking out from her tresses.

...Nah, I don't see it. It looks more like a shadow than a nipple.

It could easily be mistaken as an ink spot, but it's also much too defined for that.
Two circles.

Beg to inform you that a nipple in that location is highly unlikely given the position of her upper torso and shape of her breast.

Not, I suppose, impossible. I've not made an intensive survey on the subject.

Sorry, not seeing a nipple there, and if it were a nipple, whilst I appreciate my knowledge of such things is very, very limited, I'm not sure that's where I'd expect to see one, it's too much to one side.

Well, you're supposed to see (and then not see) the "red c" slightly covered by Natasha's hair. Here are two links.
