IMHO, a negative that will make a supurb B&W print will only make a mediocre Color print, and one that will make a good Color print will only make a mediocre B&W one. This is because you need higher contrast to get a dramatic B&W print, and lower contrast to get a good Color print. The above presumes you are using color negative film for both prints.
