Everything will come to a conclusion at the end and we can decide which colours and images are the best for us to use. :) Still, in most cases, I think it is better to always use the anime images once a certain scene is animated. Unless the anime has done something horrifically different from the manga, it's always best to use the anime images. Besides, it looks weird to have some images from the anime and then some from the manga- it's not really a great look.

So I guess it's decided that Shueisha coloured images will always replace regular black and white manga images unless something in that Shueisha image has been contradicted by an image coloured by Kishimoto himself (like this case with Sasuke's Rinnegan).
