    • Trivia
      The episode's title, "Color and Light", comes from a song of the same name in the Stephen Sondheim musical, 'Sunday in the Park with George' (1984).
    • Goofs
      Right at the beginning of the episode, we see a woman drop her daughter off at a strangers house. When the front door opens, a camera crew is reflected in the brass door knocker.
    • Quotes

      Bree Van De Kamp: [after agreeing to marry George just to be polite] Obviously there is a downside to good manners.
