I'm not sure what point mixed serves.

Mixed would be used when some scenes are in b&w and some in colour like "The Wizard of Oz" and IMO "Schindlers List" (if I remember correctly the whole end credits with the cemetery scene is in colour).

And not to throw a wrench into this, but you forgot tinted.  Ben-Hur has various scenes tinted different colors (blue, yellow, red) and a couple scenes in 2-strip Technicolor.  The opening to The Wizard of Oz count be called B&W, but in my mind it's more accurate to say it's tinted sepia.

I have to disagree with tinted. In the last century this was mainly done by chemical handling of the original roll, so it was the exception to the rule. Since the advances of computer colour processing just about every movie today is "tinted", rather than having the original colours from the film roll. Sometimes its use is documented or blatantly obvious, sometimes it's not. And when not, a lot of ping-ponging is to be expected. 
But every John Doe would probably call that movie simply a colour movie.

I equally have my doubts about mixed. Apart from the very incidental use of colour in Schindler's List, a lot of films use B&W inside a colour movie to suggest dream sequences or flashbacks. Yet just about everybody will indicate it B&W or colour according to the major part of the movie (and yes, there will always be exceptional cases...).

B&W and Colour is good enough for me. Anything beyond that may be tempting, but IMO it presents too much detail much like the current sound section in "crew" (no offence to audio/crew buffs, but...).

In all honestly, I'd classify Schindler's List as B&W.  I know all about the red coat, but 99% of the movie is B&W and to call it anything else would simply be misleading.  In my opinion of course.

Roughly the same goes for Jacques Tati's "Jour de fête".

Any idea what you would class 'Pleasantville' as?

B/W or colour?

My only question is whether it should be color or colour?
