* ''Film/{{Bill and Ted}}'s Bogus Journey'': When B&T are dead, they're grayish-blue.

* A kinda sorta example in ''WesternAnimation/NateIsLate'' "The Flash" episode. No one dies but when hit by the flash of a magic camera, it makes a monochrome version of that character which carries an exaggerated trait of their original. For example, Terry is a bully so his monochrome self is kind to a fault. Malika is a nice person while her monochrome self is blunt and condescending. Once the film to the camera is destroyed, the apparitions disappear and return back to their hosts.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheBackyardigans'' has Uniqua, Tyrone, and Pablo are blue ghosts in It's Great To Be A Ghost.

** In "Tithonus", Alfred Fellig can recognize who is about to die. He sees the people going black and white when they are dying, while the background stays fully coloured. (Inverse of SplashOfColour.)
