Johnny Cash style. Too dark? Constructive comments from the photo experts will be much appreciated.

Too grey on the subject.
I like the shot but it lacks tonality.

Would it look better in color? Or does it just need to be lighter?

Well it is more than just lightening it up.

If you look in your histogram I am sure you will see that there is basically a grey level and a black level but not really much in between to allow for gradient changes in shading. This causes the flat grey look that I see on your face in the image.

Colour would not have the same effect on this image though.
