I've chosen to answer this before reading all the other responses from 
earlier today.
My thought - why all b & w or all color? Be inclusive! Perhaps an 
uptight gallery owner would insist on that, but I think you should 
choose whichever is strongest AND TELLS THE STORY BETTER.

But for once I am in genuine doubt. I am selecting pictures from Semana Santa to make a small gallery. The processions culminate tomorrow, so I will likely go downtown during the day to document the meeting of the Virgin and the resurrected Jesus in front of Alicante’s city hall that marks the end of Easter here. Right now, I am editing the pictures from last night, and what I cannot decide is whether to present them in B&W or color. On the one hand, the colors are an integral part of the events; but then again, presenting the images in B&W changes the mood to something more menacing, for example in the PAD I posted earlier today.
