Same thing happened to me. It was working fine, then my wife and I rearranged our furniture. When I plugged it back in, black and white. My component cables are aftermarket, and when I looked at them closely I found a little switch for tv or HDTV. I switched it back to HDTV and all was fine. Hope this helps.

I had the same problem.
are you using anytime of connectors to make the cord longer?
Check the cords and the plugs on the back of your tv
make sure they are not fried or cut in any way.
then go to the back of the wii console and make sure all the pins are in the back of there.

SOURCE: Wii gone black and white, no colour

Definitely a TV issue for me. Changed Wii to another input on TV and resolved situation. Need now to check how to get my Panasonic TV to recognise colour on AV2 & 3 because I prefer to keep DVD input as AV1!

It's most likely because the US Wii is NTSC and your European TV is PAL.

Usually this is either a cable or a mode issue. First make sure that you have the correct cable connections. (Composite video cable to a component video jack is one possible cause of the problem.) Component video cables are not included with the set but will give better results. However, composite video in from the wii's composite video out should give good results.

If you are using HDMI or component video cables, then go into the Wii video menus to select the correct mode for your tv. Check your TV manual and the Wii setup guide for details on the mode (resolution, etc) you should be using.

If the problem persists, try new video cables and make sure that they are fully seated on both sides. Try switching inputs if you have several available.

I hope this helps.

Picture Is Black and White or Does Not Appear
Situation:

The console powers on and shows a black and white image on the television screen
The console powers on and there is no image on the television
 

What to do:

Determine whether the Standard AV Cables (packaged with the system) or the Component Cables (sold separately) are being used.
AV Cables
Ensure the yellow, red, and white cables are connected to the correct corresponding inputs on the TV. (How To)
Try another set of inputs on the TV, or hooking the Wii console up to another TV.
If the TV does not have the yellow, red and white inputs, it will most likely have component inputs which allow standard AV cable use. Try these AV hookup steps. (How To)
Component Cables
Ensure the red, blue and green video cables are connected to the correct corresponding inputs on the TV. (How To)
Try another set of inputs on the TV, or hooking the Wii console up to another TV.
 

Still Not Resolved:

If the television is continues to show a black and white image when powering on the Wii console, then the problem is likely with the system and it will need to be repaired. Please call 1-800-255-3700 so that we may assist you further.

Just brought a flat screen tv and put the wii on its gone on to black and white whats the problem?
Try the different inputs on your TV to see if its black and white on all of them. If thats the case then try another TV, if its still black and white then its a problem with the Wii. If it works well on another TV then you know the original TV is the problem.

It's possible there could be display settings for component output on the TV that are set to display in black and white, so check all of the display settings for component cable devices.

The second thing is to try the official Nintendo component cables to see if they do the same thing

Wii plays in black and white.
Check if the tv has different types of AV settings, as this affects whether the wii plays in black and white or colour.

It won't work
I'm getting a similar error. I put in every wii game I own, and every single game had a black error message screen with white text informing me to remove the disk + turn off the power. However, for some odd reason my gamecube games work, as does Okami and Mario Kart Wii.

I will admit I've been incessantly resetting my wii since I'm recording a speedrun, and sometimes let the wii move + shake a lot, though this doesn't explain why 2/10 of my wii games are still working when all the discs are in similar condition.

Screen losing color.. turning black and white
Your TV goes black & white, because your Wii could be NTSC or PAL which. If your Wii is PAL and your TV is NTSC then the TV will show a blac and white color. Since NTSC is for North America and PAL for Asia
