If you are getting B&W output then that probably means your TV does not know how to handled NTSC. You can tell the Pi to use PAL by adding an entry to the config.txt file in the boot partition of the Pi as described at: http://elinux.org/R-Pi_ConfigurationFile
The entry to get PAL output is sdtv_mode=2 and there are also entries available to control things like overscan and aspect ratio.
