I have had experiences with both. My first lucid dreams were more tuned to emotional and physical sensations — heightened hearing, touch, smell — and the visual aspect was very normal and serene. It really was like I was just awake in my dream. There was nothing spectacular visually but the experiences were intense nontheless.

But as I began to delve deeper into the realm of these dreams and feel more comfortable with my dream self, I began to learn to control the visual aspect of my dreams. This opened a whole new door and the visuals became more precise and colorful. I only suggest that you stick with it and the more you lucid dream, the more control you will gain, and hopefully the more intense your visual experiences will become.

Namaste and good luck.
