Shot in color… Is it noir?

The title is more of click bait than anything but it is at least worth discussing. Neo Noir in color? Sure. But classic 1940-1959 noir fedoras and femme fatales need to be in black and white. Western noir in color gets more of a pass from me (no fedoras.)

Your thoughts. Debate!

P.S., the “Color” sub-genre doesn’t actually bring any movies up. Is this the boss’s passive-aggressive joke stating that noir can’t be in color? Lol!
