I don't think that's the reason. I also enjoy looking at medieval sketchbooks, where the illustrations are complete even without color. That's not the case with VMS. As @Rafal already wrote, it seems unfinished. Part of the “message” it is supposed to convey is lost without color. For example, I don't think it's purely decorative that the pools in Quire 13 are colored green and blue. The illustrator wanted to say something with this, we just haven't understood what it is yet. In any case, it's very unlikely that someone added a pictorial narrative later as an overlay, so to speak.
