She has to color her hair to become Madeleine again at the end of the picture. The non-color of Kim Novak's dress as Madeleine is also a very important aspect in the film.
In the sequence where Stewart follows Novak to the cemetery everything feels unnatural since every scene glows through the use of a filter that creates a blur. In the scene where Judy remembers the real events in the bell tower it starts with an outdoor scene, which we have already seen but it is now much darker than the first time. In the scene in the bookshop we hear a dark and sad story while at the same time the light dimes down to simulate dusk.
Kim Novak is often bathed in colored light like in the famous hotel room scene, where she appears like a ghost with all the green light around her. There are frames dyed purple and green the cemetery scenes are red, inserted to the rhythm of the music with normal frames. Think for example on James Stewart's nightmare in the middle of the film. He played around with colors in all his color films but never as much as in this one. Hitchcock even went so far as to openly dye some frames is bright unnatural colors.

Vertigo is full of scenes where the colors have been saturated or changed to create a special feeling. Some directors decide for an overall color look, which is often done in the lab, but not on the set. Many directors used light to create moods in black and white movies but only very few ever got so far as to use the much greater palette of colors for the same purpose. Vertigo is a great example for what color films really can look like! Not only do I want to praise the quality of the Technicolor dye transfer prints but also more the way Hitchcock used color to create moods. Since there are already so many real good comments on this film I want to focus on only one aspect.
