Nothing is going to be black-and-white at all, but for certain scenes where the computer graphics looked too bright and phony looking, I have desaturated the colors by about 60% (differently depending on the scene), so as to mute the color palette and make it look more realistic. There is no loss of brightness, detail, or clarity, and I'm not changing any of the FX (aside from the flashes we were talking about). I simply experimented with putting it about halfway between full-color and black-and-white, and it looks more gritty and more like the OT.
