Basic Trope: A work starts off monochrome, but switches to full colour later on.
- Straight: Magic at Tropeland starts off black and white, but becomes in colour when we get to Tropeland.
- Exaggerated: The film starts off looking like 1900s footage that is unrestored, but then it becomes widescreen, 8K and very oversaturated.
- Downplayed: Only the ending scene is in colour.
- Justified:
- The monochrome portrays the village of Tropeton as a dull land, and the colour portrays Tropeland as a magical place where all your dreams come true.
- Tropeton is the pre Color Switch TV Land the work starts in, Tropeland is the real world.
- Inverted: When we get to Tropeland, it becomes black and white.
- Subverted: When Alice opens the door, we see a flash of bright light, but Tropeland is still in black and white.
- Double Subverted: The entrance is in black and white, the rest is in full colour.
- Parodied: ???
- Zig-Zagged: Some of Tropeland is in colour, some of it is in black and white.
- Averted: The entire film is in colour.
- Enforced: Principal Photography started before the (then) new TechniColor camera's had arrived.
- Lampshaded: ???
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: ???
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
