Power Macintosh AV: No color on NTSC Monitor

I have a TV or Composite/NTSC monitor connected to my Power Macintosh AV system, and I can only get grayscale or B&W, even though it is capable of displaying color. What's wrong?
First double-check that color is selected in the monitors control panel.

Next, double-check that the correct S-Video adapter cable is being used to connect the RCA cable from the TV/monitor to the AV card. If the S-Video-IN cable is used by mistake, you will only get grayscale/B&W on the screen. Replace with the correct S-Video-OUT cable, and you should get a color display on your TV/monitor.
