I heard about people getting RFE cause USCIS wanted colorful photocopies for passport/ID documents, I also heard that colorful copies of those are illegal

When filling I-485 and I-130 Should i send photocopies of passports and visas in COLOR or BLACK AND WHITE?

other documents as marriage certificate i will send black and white ....

Likely a non-issue, legibility is likely a more important issue.
