Yes. A color neg still contains all of the color, just in negative rather
than positive form. Plus the orange mask. To print color neg as B&W in a
wet darkroom, you need a panchromatic paper such as Kodak Panalure. It is
B&W but must be handled in complete darkness. I never liked the results
with Panalure but they at least were prints.
