Line 72:
* In the short-lived series ''[[John Doe]]'', the protagonist is colorblind, so the things shown from his point of view are shown in black and white. However, in the pilot, when he sees the news about a missing girl, her face shows color and Doe is convinced the girl is related to him somehow. She wasn't, but every other time the "warning colors" appeared during the series, they were things related to him (like the woman in the green scarf, or the [[Big Bad|Phoenix]] statue).
* ''[[VR 5]]'' played all sorts of games with color during the VR sequences. Typically, unimportant objects were desaturated, while important ones were supersaturated.
* ''Hi Honey, I'm Home!'' was a reversal of [[Trapped in TV Land]] featuring the Neilsons, a family from a [[The Fifties|50's]] sitcom that has been canceled. They are relocated to the [[Real Life|Real World]], in a typical 90's suburb. [[Cold Sleep, Cold Future|When overwhelmed by the complexities of the world in which they now live]], they seek comfort by using a device known as a [[Applied Phlebotinum|Turnerizer]], which causes themselves and their home environment to [[Good Old Ways|revert to monochrome]]. The outside world (as seen through open doors, etc.), as well as anyone ''from'' the outside world, are unaffected.
* Used extensively in the TV version of [[Half Moon Investigations]] for scenes showing how the Crime Of The Week was actually commited (black-and-white otherwise), most notably with spot colour on the pink clothes worn by the Pinks and a yellow jacket that was a Clue. Never two different colours in the same scene, though.
* Season 2 of ''[[Breaking Bad]]'' features several [[Cold Open|Cold Opens]] which foreshadow an accident scene, with hazmat-besuited men sifting through debris. The only thing in colour is a [[Empathy Doll Shot|pink teddy bear]] (with an unsettling likeness to [[Toy Story|Lotso]]...)

** When Annie uses the blinker stone to see into the Ether, any non-magical people and objects are shown in black and white. So, when looking through Ether-vision, the Court becomes grey with some splashes of color, while Gillitie Wood becomes far more colorful.
*** {{spoiler|Renard/Reynardine}}'s original body is also in greyscale, {{spoiler|since it's waiting for his soul to come back from Annie's plushie}}. See [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=680 here].
