This is my set for round 14 at monthlyinspo! The theme was Film Noir, so I decided to create my first and probably only fully b&w 20in20 set ever. I'm so used to relying on vibrant colors that I wanted to see if my icons are any good without them. There are some other elements here that were also inspired by the theme but I don't think I've ever seen a noir film, so I might be way off with my take on it, but this is where my inspiration went from the challenge post :>

Since this is so different for me, I'd really appreaciate any feedback! I included the colored alts for the ones that have them (since some of these started as color icons), and I'd be very interested in hearing which ones look better in b&w and which do you like more in color?
I also included a LOT of extras, cause I made a ton and had a hard time choosing which ones to select for the actual set. I hope you can take a look at those as well and tell me if I left out something I should have selected!
