Problems in Black and White with SVHS

[eltax2]

Could anybody give me some advice on why when i connect a SVHS lead to my capture card it plays back in black and white using a scart to SVHS, and a SVHS to SVHS lead.
The composite video lead works fine but I am lead to believe that the SVHS connection is better quality.
Could anyone advise.
Thanks
