The Silver Screen Oasis

While enjoying my new Errol Flynn box set copy of "The Sea Hawk" I wondered (again) why the scenes in Central America are sepia colored? It would seem easy enough to distinguish they are not in Europe.

What am I missing?

Thanks.

I believe that Warners opted to make the movie in B&W because they wanted to use shots from both the silent and sound versions of 'Captain Blood' They also reused the costumes from "The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex" made the year before.
