They use the 3-way Color Corrector. There's a "twirl-down arrow" at the bottom of it, that allows you to set a threshold to select only one color and make everything else black and white.

I tried finding a online tutorial via Google search, but I didn't have any luck. I think they call it "replace color" or something like that.
What you're doing is using the 3-way color corrector to single out a color to enhance/change it. There's a setting you can use in the process that will turn everything else b&w to more easily show you the color your selecting. I think the trick is that you just leave this view setting turned on so it gives you the effect you want. A friend of mine showed me how to do this a couple of weeks ago and it's pretty easy "if" you have a color that stands out from the others. (if it doesn't you can duplicate the layer and mask the area you want to isolate. Hope that all makes sense! :)

Found one.....
Color Correction/Finishing in FCP 4 It's for FCP4.0, but most of it still applies. Scroll down to were it says "Secondary Color Correction".

Search google for "the pleasantville effect" and you'll find tutorials.
