It's funny how easy it is to forget that color is entirely a product of our brain and our perception, and does not exist in nature.

They DID live in a black and white world, as do we. Color is added by us.

[/obnoxious tangent]

oh, but one of the things I loved about Wings of Desire is that the angels could see only in black and white, because it revealed the true nature of things (black and white photography is wonderful for this). Yet the one angel was so envious of humans, who experienced the universe in color.
