Black & White
Black & white works well with pictures of people & sometimes landscape alot of the time you need the colour to tell you about the image if you dont have this the image can be a bit plain! you want the people looking at it to be intrested and all of a sudden look at it.
Colour
Of forest, water & animals colour is a good thing to have it brings life to the image!
Of a forest the beautiful greens come out in the image & of water the colour of the blues & the effect of the water is effected by your camera.
Black and white photos can appear to be sharper and will increase clarity if the picture was good to begin with. It can also attract attention (grabs the viewer's eye) when used appropriate in places with lots of colours around. Of course, all of this is assuming you mean grayscale; black and white would strictly be #000 and #fff.
Colour adds life and brightness to the image, but can be dulled out if it is too saturated. Depending on the nature of the image, you may or may not wish to use colour. Blues, purples and greens are considered to be cool colours; reds, oranges and yellows are considered to be warm colours.
