'Actively Ignoring' is a clear winner, and I like 'hug', 'hydrated' and 'combing tail', but all in B&W more than color. My take is that color is great for landscapes, portraits, and anything to do with nature, but for shooting people in a busy world, B&W is best. I think it concentrates attention- your eye jumps naturally to the people, without having to compete with an active background. My 2 cents.
