I'd argue it should state "After the 109/110th battle [..]": The first mandatory battle against Rowd's goons does not count towards the 108 additional battles you need to fight to get the colored ending, as does the optional battle if you talk to Rowd after you return to camp and find Luca Blight with him. However, counting the battles yourself is incredibly tedious and error-prone, compared to the method below:
Color Intro (corrected and simplified)
[..] If you own 27450/27700 potch (or more) after a battle against Rowd's goons (i.e. after at least 109/110 battles), the intro sequence will be in color, depending on whether or not you talk to Rowd and Luca Blight after returning to camp[..]

Method of testing
Two test-runs using [SLUS-00958], one with and one without talking to Rowd and Luca Blight after returning to camp.
Why it works
The simple method uses the hero's wallet as an implicit battle-counter. That works for two reasons:
- The hero always starts the intro with 200 potch. He does not earn or lose money until he faces Rowd's goons
- Each battle against Rowd's goons (mandatory or optional) is worth 250 potch
Code: Select all
g_n = 200 + 250 * n;
Results
- Without talking to Rowd and Luca Blight:
- 27200 potch after last battle (i.e. after 108 battles): Normal sepia-toned intro
- 27450 potch after last battle (i.e. after 109 battles): Colored intro
- Talking to Rowd and Luca Blight:
- 27450 potch after last battle (i.e. after 109 battles): Normal sepia-toned intro
- 27700 potch after last battle (i.e. after 110 battles): Colored intro
