Let me add my feelings on this. The very best photography of the masters, as the art developed has been in B&W. Only this allows 100% devotion to texture, shading, gross and fine structure and form. As soon as color is introduced, the emotional eruptions consequent on use of color can distract from the purity of form.
If, by chance one is interested in fall colors, then that is an entirely different circumstance, where, of course, the blessings of color splashes and variations are the whole draw of the picture. Absent that, if the form has impact, it will be best shown in monochrome. Of course one can find exceptions, but with the tools available in wet chemistry and digital imaging, nothing can match the B&W landscape where texture shadow, layering, light and form are key to the design and strength of the presentation.
Chances are it will also look wonderful in color, especially if there are animals, birds and people in it as well. But, the most pure form, reflecting the work of the masters, will always be in B&W!
For those brought up with digital imaging, color is so expected and "normal", so B&W might seem a twist of some "truth". Actually, the truth of photography is limited to such facts as the make of the camera, the reported settings and notation of who clicked the shutter.
To appreciate classical B&W photography one does have to invest a modest effort in perusing the works of those who trailblazed this form of artwork. Otherwise, color might be the only comfortable option.
