Period pieces from The 20th Century often tint the screen to favor filters because it "evokes the period." Usually, filmmakers and photographers even use the same colors for their respective periods, such as beige and coffee brown for The '90s, dark blue or magenta for the The '80s, bright orange for The '60s, high contrast and shiny for the The '50s, brownish/orange red and sea-foam green for the 1930s, or monochrome and classic for The Roaring '20s.
How these filters "evoke the period" are due to what color schemes were popular to emulate the zeitgeist throughout each decade, how fade-proof and long-lasting the available dyes and pigments were for those colors, and due to the technological advancements of film and camera throughout the past century. Of course, with many recordings of the era inevitably suffering from the passing of time, these imitations usually replicate how said recordings look today in their heavily damaged state, rather than trying to make it look like mint-condition (perhaps out of a fear of invoking Reality Is Unrealistic). To break it down:

Cowboy Bebop (2021). In "Darkside Tango", there's a sepia-tinted flashback to Jet Black's days as a detective in the ISSP, which has a 1950's style clothing and vehicles. This continues even in contemporary scenes where Jet works with his ex-partner to find out who framed him back then.

In The Pretender, flashbacks to Parker's childhood in the 1970s have a slightly washed out yellowish color treatment.

The Chilean film No based on the successful campaign to vote NO to continue Augusto Pinochet's regime in 1988, was made entirely using 80s cameras and VCR effects to emulate the decade, so the film seems like it was really recorded in The '80s.

In WandaVision, each episode plays homage to sitcoms from a specific time period, and is filmed to resemble that specific time period. The first two episodes, for example, are filmed entirely in black-and-white, with the exception of a segment at the end of Episode 2 that transitions to the washed-out colors of the Sixties.

Cuphead was made entirely as a Retraux video game made in the early Golden Era of animation, in which designs, fashion and even filters remind this era with the first Mickey Mouse and Betty Boop cartoons. You can even unlock a filter reminiscent of two-strip Technicolor films.

Discussed in Calvin and Hobbes. Calvin's father explains that old photographs are always in black and white because the world was black and white at the time. He adds that the world eventually turned color in the 1930s, but it had pretty grainy color for a time.

Invoked in the film Be Kind Rewind, when the community comes together to film a "documentary" about the life of musician Fats Waller. Filming with their camera's black & white mode on, they recreate the visual effect of a silent film with a contraption made of a fan spinning in front of the camera (to mimic the frame rate of early films) and strings (to mimic the striations/ damage on the film stock).

Done quite often in Epic Rap Battles of History; historical figures that often appear in black and white in photos and popular media, like Sigmund Freud, Marilyn Monroe and Martin Luther King Jr., are depicted in black and white as well. Same thing in "Bruce Lee vs Clint Eastwood" (the entire video has an old timey Lee and/or Eastwood movies filter over it), and "Michael Jackson vs Elvis Presley" (a grainy filter that makes the characters appear as if they're in the '60s-'80s era), to name a few.

The adventure game AMBER: Journeys Beyond shows this depending on the time period of the ghosts you visit, ranging from a World War 2 widow, a drowned child in the 1920s, and a delusional gardener from the early 1960s. The gameplay window even changes shape to match.
