Colour or Black & white?

What's your preference?

I've loved and studied Photography and I am always stuck with the same question...Colour or Black and white? I feel that the colour shows the true beauty of the photograph you're taking while b&w adds a sense of mystery to a photograph and makes it look a little more eerie and unsettling.

Here's a few of my fave photographs in colour and in black and white... tell me what your opinion is?

These photographs where taken whilst on holiday in the Lake district-
