I'm an older person and the ever dwindling crowd I hang out with don't feel that way at all. There was no TV when we were growing up. We did watch the transition of B&W to color movies. I remember thinking at the time that it was a shame that movie makers were relying on the novelty of color to fill the theaters, neglecting plot and acting skills.
I think the older set would say that the most important attribute of an ereader is not black and white vs color but contrast. Its the eyes you see. They are as old as the rest of me!
In poor light I read with a tablet (in black and white.) In good light and outdoors I use my K3. Come to think of it most of my hardcover books are in black and white. So no, I don't think the older folks think of black and white as inferior.

P.S. I've pre-ordered one of the new Nooks.
