As long as they don't get in the way of color it's fine but next thing you know some directors will start losing their minds and only doing something in black and white.

If you honestly think the black and white era was "lifeless" then you obviously havent seen many black and white films because there have been some glorious examples of black and white cinematography.
It works wonders for shadow and light. For example I would never ever want to watch something like The Third Man or the original Frankenstein in colour, they'd be completely different films.
Colour can add a tremendous amount of character for sure but it doesn't make it okay to berate people who enjoy black and white.
