I think it depends. Avenue Q and Spelling Bee recouped right away and still have color Playbills. Sweeney also recouped quickly, but still switched to B&W.

Well the shows mentioned: Q, Wicked, and Spelling Bee are all doing extremely well in grosses. Just like Jersey Boys and Spamalot (last time I saw one of the ground)

For example:

Both times I have gone to see Wicked the playbill is in color. Because they are making tons of money.

I went to see the 27th preview of Sweeney Tood, and the playbill was in color. A few months after it opened, they started printing it in black and white.

It really depends on how much money the show is making.

and how much color they actually use. Wicked and Ave. Q both only use one color, so it's probably cheaper then The Color Purple or Sweeney.
