Summary: Read the Book

If I remember rightly, the book of the Wizard of Oz (yes, there was a
book, not just a movie) made a point of how gray the whole of Kansas
was.  The house turning gray, the sky, etc.  My edition had pictures,
and the ones for Kansas were appropriately gray.  The ones for 
scenes from Oz are all in color.  This would make a good reason for
why the movie uses black and white for the scenes in Kansas.
