Ever since the advent of colour photography, the past has been depicted as in black and white, sepia tone or muted colors. Usually invoked for a Flashback or silent film homage. Sometimes made fun of by claiming that the real world was, in fact, black and white prior to the invention of color. Gloriously averted by world's first non-artificial-color footage from 1927. A Sub-Trope of Flashback Effects. See also Deliberately Monochrome, for when the entire work is this way, and Decade-Themed Filter, for when this filter evokes an era. |

Sleepless Domain: An interesting diegetic variation on this is used during a flashback in Chapter 10. To give some background, the Inner Barrier forms every night to protect civilians from monsters, and as a side effect it transforms the city into a technicolor battlefield whose appearance changes nightly. During a flashback sequence, there are no explicit Flashback Effects, but the barrier on that particular night happened to have a pattern of washed-out grey and brown tones that give the impression of an in-universe sepia filter. | |

Subverted in Limbus Company's Canto IV. Unlike the other chapters, Yi Sang's flashbacks are presented through a sepia tone. This is then revealed to be what the actual area looked like during that time period. T Corp's District, where the League of Nine was based during that time period, uses an unknown power to drain out the colors from not just their surroundings, but from all the lower and middle class, with color only being provided to the most wealthy and privileged people. | |

His flashback is in black and white. Later, when he interviews his biological mother about the time the same thing happened to her in the early '50s, her flashback is in sepia. | |

CSI: NY uses brown/sepia tones for especially significant flashbacks: Mac recalls the 1983 Beirut Marine Barracks bombing during "Charge of This Post." He has memories of his father's illness in "Blacklist." More of those memories and scenes from the Holocaust are depicted in "Yarhzeit." In "Flash Pop," scenes of a case from 1957 are shown in black & white and muted colors. |

Done in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood during one Scar's flashbacks. They mix it with Splash of Color to contrast both the blue eyes of the Amestrian Soldiers invading Ishval and Winry's parents with the red eyes of the Ishvallans and Envy in disguise, just before he shoots the young girl to start the war. Yoki's flashback to when the Elrics put an end to his scam in Youswell is shown in the style of a black-and-white newsreel, though the flashback switches to color as he relates his Humiliation Conga after he was kicked out of the military. |

SCP-8900-EX: The past was black-and-white, until an unexplained anomaly created the colors we see today. All photographs are color photographs, what we think of as the advance of photo technology is actually just the effect spreading. Basically, Calvin's dad was right. The Foundation couldn't find any way to stop it, so they just said "fuck it" and doped the entire planet with amnestics that caused everybody to think that the world was always this way. | |

In the Cut: The dream sequences that show how Frannie's parents met and fell in love are sepia-toned scenes of a couple ice-skating on a pond with snow falling around them. The sepia tones emphasize how much Frannie idealizes her parents' meet-cute. It is later revealed that Frannie's father left another woman for her mother, using the ring he was going to give to the other woman to propose to her. After marrying Frannie's mom, he would eventually leave her for another woman, going on to marry three other times. | |

St. Elsewhere: In "Time Heals, Part 1", all of the 1935 sequences are shown in black and white. The first 1935 scene in "Time Heals, Part 2" begins in black and white, but changes to full color when the six-year-old Donald Westphall sees Patrick O'Casey's blood on the floor as he is being brought into St. Eligius. From then onwards, each 1935 scene is in black and white for the first few seconds before changing to color. | |

Inverted in The Dawns Here Are Quiet. The present-day 1942 story (a Russian Amazon Brigade unit) is filmed in black and white, but all the flashbacks of the various women in the squad are in color, possibly symbolizing how much better life was before the war. | |

Employed in Avatar: The Last Airbender, although just with muted, sepia colours. The exact shading depending on which character's memories we were seeing; Aang's were washed out with a bright yellow, Zuko's were a darker gold, and Katara and Sokka was a blueish tint to theirs. | |

In Forced Perspectives and Stolen Skies by Tim Powers, some of the characters are able to see visions of the past. Being magical in nature, they include light spectra not usually visible to the human eye, including infrared light which the seers' brains interpret as a sort of coppery color — with the result that the visions are sepia-toned in-universe. | |

Shiki's memories in Tsukihime are often in black and white; in one case to deliberately hide the fact that the girl in the window was Kohaku and the girl that was outside was Hisui. The girls are identical twins other than their eye color. | |

Shadow of Destiny has you travel to various periods of the past and each one has a different kind of monochrome color. The 1500s era is in sepia tone while the early 1900s is in gray. | |

Inverted in Season 2 of Breaking Bad, where several episodes open with a black-and-white Flash Forward where the only colour is a damaged pink teddy bear in some kind of accident scene, with each subsequent episode showing slightly more. In the season finale, the scene finally fades to colour because this is the episode where the present story converges with the prologue and fully shows the context. | |

Interview with the Vampire (2022): The two "Family Portrait" promos and the accompanying picture are sepia-toned to reflect that Louis, Lestat and Claudia posed for the photograph in the early 20th century. In the climax of the Season 1 finale, there's a muted variation during the Once More, with Clarity sequence where the Flashback snippets are moderately desaturated. |

In Code Lyoko, some flashbacks of Aelita's previous life are sepia-colored — including in the usually brightly-colored world of Lyoko during her first virtualization. And the final episode consists entirely of flashbacks done in this manner. The sepia-toned tower deactivated sequence in particular invoked many Manly Tears. | |

In one episode of Childrens Hospital, Dr. Maestro travels back to the 1940's, where everything is monochrome even to him. He refers to a nurse as a "black and white lady", only to have her ask him to hush up about her biracial lineage. | |

Cold Case: If the flashback is set in a period where monochrome footage was widespread, the flashback will be monochrome. One episode subverts this, by beginning in full old-photo sepia and appearing to take place in the early 1800s. Then a car full of people pull up. It is 2006, in Amish country. Interestingly, these technique has also been used occasionally for time periods when monochrome was no longer the norm, such as The '90s. | |
