In color photography, we tend to photograph objects, scenes, and events; in B&W, the ONLY thing you are photographing is light and the interaction of light in the material world. Hard light, soft, direct, indirect, overhead, Rembrandt, or late day are all different light techniques.

From a technical perspective, I would disagree with your premise. Light is light regardless of the sensor and its spectral sensitivity. But it's not worth the discussion unless you want to really dig into it.

In the Photo above, the artist has used a fairly soft neutral light, you could change the emotion of the picture by using different light; for example, a light entering from off to the side and nearly horizontal and lighting up her tools would give an impression of morning, while the same light from behind the camera is more likely to evoke the end of the day. The soft light says she is fond of her job, where as use a harder light with more shadows and her job becomes more difficult. If you put a light above, shining down on the tools, you would be left with the impression that she works for someone else in her job. Same objects, same scene, different light, different emotions.
