Just curious, do we have a database of games that use color emphasis? I've just never known if I am seeing it or not on a game; I don't think I've seen it enough to really know, aside from a time when screwing around with bare fingers on the famicom PCB caused the blue emphasis to kick in for Super Mario Bros...
Haha are you sure that's what happened?
Color emphasis makes everything look dark, like it's night time. The first scene in just breed when you're walking around the town at night time is color emphasis it's a perfect example. Try the megaman 4 minus infinity hack the brightman stage has both regular and colour emphasis modes displaying on the screen at the same time. With a composite ppu the emphasis parts of the screen look darker, with my rgb ppu they turn solid white.
Here's a lazy emulator snapshot demonstration. Composite ppu showing color emphasis:

How it looks on my system using a rgb ppu

Otherwise the game looks fine:
