No Power, No Color	comment	If Power Glows, then what happens if something is out of power? A great way to indicate this is to have it fade to a monochrome color scheme, usually a gray one. Certain sections and parts might be the only ones to be affected by the loss of energy, but the entire body might fade too. For example, highly-advanced technology with Tron Lines usually display vibrant colors to indicate that they're active and alive, but when they're shut off, the Tron Lines themselves disappear into nothing but pure black colors with the surrounding environment often turning gray as a result. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Commonly used in Video Games for both gameplay and storytelling, especially for menus indicating incapacitated members. In most examples of Subsystem Damage, the system that is lost, disabled, and/or destroyed is often grayed out on the diagram if red isn't used instead (or red is reserved for when a system is destroyed versus gray when it's merely disabled). Robot characters fading to indicate death may overlap with Death Is Gray. A Sub-Trope of Color-Coded for Your Convenience and Gray Is Useless. Contrast Power-up Full Color Change. See Color Failure for when the change to a singular color scheme is the result of a state of shock.

There are also a few non-colorful memories on shelves; Word of God states that these are recollections of non-emotional things, like pure facts. When Anger, Fear and Disgust's ideas drive Riley to depression resulting in her running away, the control console in her brain becomes unresponsive, preventing the emotions from removing the running away idea. Then a dark sheen creeps across the console, blotting out the brightly-coloured buttons and leaving the emotions totally helpless as Riley's Greyhound bus heads for the freeway. Only the return of Joy and Sadness, and Sadness's finally being allowed near the console, restores life and colour to the buttons and gets Riley off the bus.

When the residents of Sillyville, who each wear a different hue, decide to stop interacting with anyone who doesn't wear the same color, Sillywhim's outfit fades to a black-and-white monochrome to reflect their lack of unity. Eventually, the different groups come together to help her and learn An Aesop about unity and not judging others because of appearances; once they've reconciled, Sillywhim's colors are restored to their natural state.

No Power, No Color / int_9a8bf274	comment	In some Command & Conquer games, unpowered structures turn very dark gray, sometimes with a lightning symbol above them. Starting with Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, exceeding the power supply to your base slows production and disables base defenses and superweapons, which turn almost pitch-black. The same thing happens if any building is voluntarily powered down, along with an icon to denote it. Vehicles under the effect of an EMP also darken. The Scrin suffer this once GDI destroys the Relay Node that controls their Keystone Army on Earth. The following cutscene shows units and structures losing the purple lights and darkening as they collapse and crash to the ground. The Global Conquest mode in the PC version of Kane's Wrath uses this for cities to denote that the population is outright decimated by the Scrin rather than the cold-to-hot colors indicating the level of panic and unrest.

No Power, No Color / int_bcdcf629	comment	Transformers: Animated: In reference to Optimus Prime's death in The Transformers: The Movie, all Transformers fade to gray upon death. This is justified by the concept of Transformers having "electronic paint jobs" that let them change color at will, with the implication that their normal color schemes are active projections that deactivate to reveal their real gray colors underneath when they die. After Blurr is crushed by the disguised Shockwave into a cube and handed off to be disposed of, it's noteworthy that the cube is still Blurr's powder blue coloring, hinting that he's still alive but immobile.

As he brainwashes each of the ponies, they go from their usually vibrant-selves to dull, muted gray.

No Power, No Color / int_eff51eac	comment	Transformers Victory: God Ginrai's dead corpse fades to gray. The resemblance to Optimus Prime's death in the movie and Ginrai's similarity to him is probably unintentional as said movie had not been released in Japan yet (for further proof that it is probably a coincidence rather than intentional, Wheeljack, who dies in the movie, shows up alive and well in the same episode as Ginrai dies). Liokaiser gets thrown into the charging cannon of the Planet-Destroying Fortress and is drained of his energy. His now gray body helplessly floats off into space with only a cry for help to indicate any remaining signs of life.

No Power, No Color / int_f858847a	comment	Pokémon X and Y: Marvelous Deer Pokemon Xerneas, the legendary mascot of Pokemon X, has bright glowing antlers with what looks like gems of all different colors adorning their tips. When not in battle, however, its antlers dull and the "gems" all become a muted shade of blue. Even its body's hue switches between an intense blue when in battle and a softer blue palette when not.

No Power, No Color / int_fb9c177d	comment	Transformers: The Transformers: Tornedron sucking out the energy from characters and objects turns them gray. Victims of the eponymous Dweller in the Depths turn grey after their energy is drained. Transformers: Animated: In reference to Optimus Prime's death in The Transformers: The Movie, all Transformers fade to gray upon death. This is justified by the concept of Transformers having "electronic paint jobs" that let them change color at will, with the implication that their normal color schemes are active projections that deactivate to reveal their real gray colors underneath when they die. After Blurr is crushed by the disguised Shockwave into a cube and handed off to be disposed of, it's noteworthy that the cube is still Blurr's powder blue coloring, hinting that he's still alive but immobile. Transformers: Prime: The movie death is alluded to in an episode wherein Bumblebee enters Megatron's comatose mind to find a cure for a disease afflicting Optimus. Megatron is quick to sense his advantage and pressures the scout to agree to a little quid pro quo or else "Optimus fades to gunmetal gray."

No Power, No Color / int_fdbace96	comment	In the Gravity Falls fanfic All The World's A Toybox, Bill Cipher fades from his usual neon yellow colouration to a dull grey after being defeated by the heroes - more specifically when Grunkle Ford reveals that his plan to escape from the Nightmare Realm was All for Nothing: Weirdmageddon would have ended with Earth being rendered down into another part of the Nightmare Realm and Bill would have ended up Dying Alone anyway. In this case, it's not just that Bill's lost his power, but also his will to continue.
