If by folks you mean the director, then yes:Mr. White wrote: What's the deal?

sourceMr Miller wrote: “One thing I’ve noticed is that the default position for everyone is to de-saturate post-apocalyptic movies,” he told Slashfilm. “There’s only two ways to go, make them black and white — the best version of this movie is black and white, but people reserve that for art movies now. The other version is to really go all-out on the color. The usual teal and orange thing? That’s all the colors we had to work with. The desert’s orange and the sky is teal, and we either could de-saturate it, or crank it up, to differentiate the movie.”

Bullshit. Just because he saw a few minutes of a B&W utility print of The Road Warrior does not mean that Fury Road was somehow intended to be B&W and since Miller himself paid for a lot of Fury Road, he likely could have done whatever he wanted with it. There was no studio "forcing" the film to be in color.
What I've seen looks...like a B&W version of the movie. Really high contrast. Images often look striking in high contrast B&W. Big deal.
This is all just marketing to justify the double dip...making it look like you are buying what the director REALLY wanted, therefore the "best" version.
Best version is the color version, as intended.
