The Birds,
North By Northwest
To Catch a Thief
Rear Window
The Man Who Knew Too Much
Vertigo
Dial M For Murder (also in 3D)
all in color and a few lesser films that were none-the-less fun movies, Family Plot, Marnie, The Trouble With Harry.
See, if you make too many B&W movies that are excellent some folks will forget what you did in color.

I have to add that the remake of The Man Who Knew Too Much is pretty terrible. |
Not much compares to
Shadow of a Doubt. But if we're talking B&W Hitchcock, how about a little love for
Sabotage, with Oskar Homolka and Sylvia Sidney? It includes an incredibly suspenseful segment involving a little boy unknowingly transporting a bomb on a bus. My favorite scene shows a wife serving dinner to her husband and thinking about picking up the knife on the table ...
And, of course,
Psycho is a classic.
