I go back to B&W from time to time but really prefer colour. All the Leica lenses I have used are great in colour. The Noctilux is a bit warmer than all the others because of the ultra high RI glass used. I have a list of leica lens colour transmission data which I can't lay my hands on at the moment, but I remember the only lens on the list which deviated from neutral was the Nocti, and not by much.
