Black and white image on back up camera at night?

My 2016 W205 C300 night time rear view camera image is only in black and white, is this normal? I have had several cars with backup cameras and the image at night was always clear and in color, the MB image is horrible! For some reason I can't post a picture from my iPad, sorry

Yea, I believe its normal, my 2015 C400 is like that. I think MB should really upgrade it, its horrible, especially when we're paying $40k+ for these cars. Even my parents Nissan Rogue has a better rear view camera quality, even offers a 360 degrees view.

It's not black and white, it is just a very low quality camera. Mine does look black and white at night too, but I noticed I can faintly see the red of the brake lights when applied.
