Given that the neon isn't on anyway, B&W...

Visually one of the rare times I like color better.
But depends what you're going to use it for.

Black and white for sure. The only colors that really stand out in the first pic are the red and yellow- and even those aren't that bright.

Since the topic is "Neon" I think I might go back and ask them to actually turn the neon on, maybe see how that looks.
Sounds crazy, I know.

but as was stated before, he is going for a juxtaposition

I would say go with color. Three of the four corners have mostly white posters in them already making it look VERY white and all in all there aren't enough grays in the b&w, giving little contrast.
But of course this is just my opinion"I just looked down to see if I was wearing my seatbelt, and I'm sitting at my desk in my room."

in that case have them turn said neon on, shoot at night. neon will pop, flyers will be there, but just not the focus of the shot....which is how it looks now.

absolutely no question, colour. the yellows and blues are straight out of a high school photocopied concert flyer. BnW totally kills that effect.
I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just gonna ask them where they're goin' and hook up with 'em later.
