This is what I would try,,, unplug it from the wall socket for a min or so. and sometime u can hold the power button in for 30 seconds while the TV is UNPLUGGED . on some sets that resets the defaults.

Different areas use different colour systems. The most common types being PAL and NTSC. What I think you might have done is changed the colour type setting to one that is not compatible with your TV. If you have the manual look up the colour settings. If you haven't got the manual look around the main menu for them. If all else fails use the factory reset.
It is pretty much junk, sorry to say it but your picture tube went out and it is cheaper to buy a new t.v. My grandpa use to fix them for us for free but he passed:( If you call some where see how much they would charge for a picture tube, I bet it's expensive???
You may have shorted out the driver circuits on the LCD panel or on the T-CON board, you will have to try to dry out any moisture left inside the LCD panel assembly. Typical repair bill for shop can be $150 and up plus any parts that it may need, sorry for the bad news since the LCD may have to be repleaced if the damage is badly done. You need to open it up and look real close at the LCD panel and the T-CON board.
It has 2 blown capacitors in it. Mine had the same problem. The capacitors are located at EC17 & EC18 on the top circuit board inside the tv. They cost about 1.00 a piece. You can get them at DigiKey.com. It is very easy to take the board out and have someone soldier the new ones in and then put it back together. You can fix it for about 40.00. Hope this helps. Do a search on line of what the capacitors look like........
I had a similar problem when I first connected my son's xbox using the Audio/Video cable (red, white, & yellow connectors). I connected the cable to the TV correctly, but incorrectly selected "component" as the input on the TV setup. Result was black and white display. Switch your TV input mode to "AV" or "Audio/Video" and you will get color.
FYI, "component" TV mode is only used with devices that use the red, green, & blue connectors.
