The bill for a 6 page feature article that was published in Science last year was ~$1600. There was some kind of pricing which depended on the number of color figures and you paid alot more for the first figure and less for all additional figures. I do not believe that there was any charge for pages without color figures, but all but one of the pages of the paper had some type of color figure. Most of the time the color figures are essential; this was for an X-ray crystal structure of and the figures (and text) would have been incomprehensible without color figures.
