PS to my post below.
This reminds me of a video that used to be available free on Youtube and James Ravilious an English photographer and documenter of life in rural villages in the south of England. Sadly he passed away far to young. The film is no longer free to air but this trailer talks about him and his philosophy of black and white imaging in that situation. He shot film of course.

somewhat colored
Things we see certainly don't have film grain, but some things in some light are monochromatic in our perception, even if there are colors there. Be that as it may, B&W Photography exists because for almost a century after the invention of photography, the ability of the recording medium to capture color information was missing. And photographers got used to that lack and made it into an art form—something different from our native perception.
Art lives beyond Reality.
