Bias against programme in black and white, for instance (6,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

colour scheme

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'white for instance' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.

'bias against programme in black' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'programme' could be 'scheme' (scheme is a kind of programme) and 'scheme' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'colour' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for colour scheme that I've seen before include "dictating arrangements for the flat, say" , "Arrangement or combination of tones and hues" , "Interior decoration plan" .)
