The rich red of the dress goes with the fruit and shows personality too. The green of the peppers and the background band of fruit make more effective elements in colour because the tones are too similar in grey.. er strong face and expression would be much better if that area was lighter though. I do not think that there is enough tonal variation for the b&w to work as well.
