Some years ago during an exhibition of my BW prints I received the
following two comments:

An elderly gentleman paying me his highest compliment: "I never knew
there was so much color in black and white"

Another, equally sincere but missing it: "Gee, these pictures are
really nice.  Too bad they're not in color"
