In Black and White is the seventh album by Mustard Plug. It was recorded at the same studio as their Evildoers Beware. It was produced by Bill Stevenson, who has also produced albums by the Descendents and NOFX.

The album is somewhat darker than Mustard Plug's previous work. Bassist Rick Johnson attributes this to the sorry state of affairs in the US: "Not just the war but, the whole way government has turned in the past twenty years. Things seem pretty bleak and I think that feeling had a lot to do with the writing of the record."[1]

The title is a play on the Cheap Trick record In Color.[2]
