And they had no ceilings, who would have thought.
I'm with Pokey, I'll take the black and white. The colors look like some Gay designed the place.

In color, yes. But to have enough contrast to show up in black/white, strange colors are used to get the correct visual effect. Oh, crap...the photographer in me just came out. Sorry about that  [This message has been edited by Cooter (edited 12-01-2013).]

Yep. I worked in TV back before the transition to color. (Yes, I'm that old.) We sometimes had to use some pretty weird tricks to make things look right in B&W. Making food in B&W commercials look appetizing was often particularly challenging. B&W film had different characteristics than B&W TV, so you couldn't always use the same techniques for both media.
In the case of the Addams Family, light reflected from the pink surroundings may have cause the actors' skin tones to look even more surreal in B&W ... or that may just have been the color they had available in the prop room the day they painted the set.[This message has been edited by Marvin McInnis (edited 11-29-2013).]

What was life like back before they invented color? I imagine a black and white rainbow just did not have the same appeal, or your box of crayons only having 2 colors probably got boring pretty quickly...
