The BW does lend a "classic" look, but thaz cultural to certain viewers, mainly by age group. For audiences that find BW simply "peculiar" the color version would do very well with a coupla simple corrections to reduce saturation in those background distractions that you've mentioned. The orange chair is an easy target for any selection tool and the few other possible distraction are so small and defocused that they'll be easy to kill. My personal taste fails to prefer the BW or the color. Each appeals equally to me ... with the caveat that I'm mentally eliminating the background distractions in the color version.
