I found color printing in the darkroom very frustrating; I probably needed to work out better techniques for arriving at the "best" color balance. Editing scans on the computer, then making ink-jet prints, is much less frustrating for me.
As mentioned, color negs printed in the darkroom on regular B&W paper results in strange tonality and a mottled grainy look, rather unpleasant. Much better results on Panalure. But I don't recall having choices of contrast grade with Panalure, so one's options are limited.
